Product Data

Rail Material: Alloy
Road: Yes

Proofide keeps the leather supple as it is specially formulated from natural ingredients to condition, preserve and shower proof your saddle. Apply a little Proofide to the finished side of the leather. Allow the Proofide to permeate until dry and then polish off. Proofide should be used several times during the 'breaking-in' period and every 3-6 months thereafter. On bicycles not fitted with mudguards, an initial application to the underside of the saddle will be beneficial, this needs not to be polished off. The leather gets its colour during the tanning process and it is possible, therefore, that some colour residues will remain. It is recommended to polish the saddle with a soft cloth before first use.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Samuel2340 from Does what it says on the tin, pun intended. Early days but it does seem working wheel, easy to apply and a nice, uniform coverage, not sticky and it also smells good. Not checked on the rain yet though.

Rated 5 out of 5 by musorugby from Looks pricey but worth every penny Seems a lot for a little jar but you only need a tiny amount and it really helps condition leather.

How to use

Hi I would like very specific instruction of how to use this product. I have recently bought a b17 brooks saddle. I.E. How many applications How often how much of the tin should you use on the bottom and top etc
Asked by: OliverH
http://forum.ctc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&amp;t=34291 Suggest you look here. I have proofed the underneath and will do it again to ensure the underneath is proofed and will only do the top occasionally to keep the water out. The tin will last a long time

Can i just use dubbing

Hi.Do i HAVE to use Proofide or will any old dubbing do?
Asked by: Deano217
On reading the Brooks saddle guidance on maintenance and care it states Proofide should be used to avoid low saddle maintenance. Also on the Brooks site it warns against using anything other than Proofide.

Hello. Are you's going to be stocking any more Brooks saddles ?

I noticed you had them a while back, but are no longer in stock.
Asked by: Punchy1971
Brooks saddles are only available for delivery in certain territories so will not be available to purchase outside of those permitted territories.
