About the Brooks England brand

The Brooks bike saddle story started way back in 1866, a young man of just 19 years of age was said to have bought 'one of those new-fangled velocipedes' which was fitted with a wooden saddle, this proved excruciating. As luck would have it his father made leather saddles for horses, so the young man known as John Boultbee Brooks set to work in his fathers workshop designing and developing a comfortable saddle from leather.<br/><br/>The rest they say is history....<br/><br/>Brooks experience in saddle making goes right back to the beginning - back to the period of solid tyres - and is unequalled by any other house in the world.<br/><br/>That said, they recognise the fact that they cannot rely on their past history alone, so they still build saddles with the same attitude as when they started, 'quality first', both in materials and manufacture. The testament to this is that there are still saddles in active use today, made many many years ago.

Brooks England B17 Standard Saddle is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 237.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lancshoop from Tradition at its best Thought I'd treat myself to a 'proper' saddle and I wasn't disappointed. Supreme quality leather and design this gives my bike a touch of class. i'm only a commuter and short distance weekend rider - 15 miles or an hour usually and this saddle provides comfort and support as promised. Already the leather is beginning to mould itself to my shape and I'm really glad I bought it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JayG2020 from Smiling from ear to ear I've not wanted to ride my bike for many reasons but mainly because I refused to believe I could no longer go running to keep fit. But repeated calf strains have meant I've come to the realisation my running days are over. So, I took my dusty, twenty-year-old Specialised mountain bike or a spin. To my surprise I enjoyed it, but my god the saddle was painful. Having gone out every day for a week and the saddle no more comfortable I ordered the Brooks saddle. Having read so many glowing reviews I'm pleased to say this evening I was smiling from ear to ear. Straight out of the box it was instantly more comfortable than the saddle the bike came with (all those years ago). It looks and feels like quality. I ordered the honey colour saddle and it's probably the best part of the ancient bike. The saddle is a thing of beauty and I will admit I stood back and admired it before putting the bike away this evening.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Timeinthesaddle from Riding a cloud. The best bit of kit I’ve bought in years. It’s a saddle rather than a seat; connecting the rider to their bike.

My bike is left outside a lot. I have had saddles that act like sponges when left in the rain - how does the Brooks stand up to the wet?

Asked by: Lindrop
Rainy? There is no better option than a simply plastic bag on your saddle! The Brooks suff is well made but you should do your best to protect a saddle against water - it takes few seconds.

Narrow or Standard

My Sit Bones work out at a size of approximately 160mm width. I see the Narrow is 155mm and the standard is 170mm. I've been told that a too narrow a saddle is worse than having a too wide a saddle. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge in which would be the best choice?
Asked by: BigApe85
A general rule of thumb is that the saddle width should be the sit bone width + 2cm.

I notice all the Brooks b17 fans seem to be male. Are these saddles comfortable for women too?

Asked by: spottyleopard
I would suggest the ladies version that is listed here; http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Brooks_Saddles_B17_Standard_S_Ladies_Saddle/5360023054 also some lady reviews.

What is the difference betwween the B17 Brooks saddle and the team pro saddle?Is the team pro saddle more narrow than the B17?

Asked by: sorebum
The Team Pro version is shorter and more narrow than the B17 saddle. It also does not have such a large drop in the leather at the side of the saddle.

Breaking in

How best to break in saddle with or without padded shorts ?
Asked by: Soyab
The Saddle will break in and mould to whichever you ride in most so simply ride it like normal and it should break in perfectly.

Will the brooks B17 saddle fit my bike?

My bike is a Trek Domane 2.0 T

My seat post has standard twin rail fitting (selle italia, charge spoon etc..) and it fits fine.

Will a Brooks saddle fit my saddle post?

I have a saddle post that takes saddle rails that have centres that are 45-46MM apart. Wills a Brooks saddle fit and if not which saddle posts will?
Asked by: septagenariansid
It's a standard fit, but only comes as rails (on the saddle) so either invest in a micro-adjustable seat post (about &pound;15 upwards, but measure the tube diameter carefully first) or you can get the basic (and rather horrid) steel adjustable fitting from most cycle places, or raid it from your old saddle. A micro-adjustable post is vastly preferable.

Different colors

Do you offer/plan to offer this saddle in different colors? I'm interested in the mandarin color.
Asked by: speedyhead
I have a brown B45. I got bored with the colour so I experimented with a leather shoe dye. It works a treat as long as you follow the instructions to the letter.

How much saddle to bar drop is acceptable

I'm sorely tempted to buy a B17 but have read that this is suited for more &quot;sit up&quot; position and I have around 4-5 inches of drop on my bike. Am I likely to find this uncomfortable, maybe go for the team pro?
