Why do people buy Brooks bike saddles? I kinda want to get one just because my name's on the back, but other than that, I don't get it.

  • They are awesome! I am rocking Jim Reynolds seat, so it is an original from the 80's! Liz might be pulling rank and confiscating it.

  • I have one too --- best ride around. Jim & I put in lots of miles on 'em.

  • I own two of them. Best saddle ever made! But takes several thousand miles to break in.

  • My stock saddle was too narrow and was uncomfy. Padded saddles squish your crotch after a while. A firm saddle like Brooks is good.

  • See t.co/zjo5sHCUyA for a lot of conversation about it.

  • @broox @therealfitz they break in over time and fit your parts like a glove. I just got their new Cambium & love it. t.co/HRtpECTLik

  • @broox @aaronsalmon @therealfitz yea. Parts gloves are different. Good point.

  • it is like a good pair of leather boots or shoes. Once broken in it is super comfortable for a long time.

  • after you break the saddle in, it will be custom fit for you

  • because they are really comfortable. They shape to your ass like a Birkenstock does to your foot. It's basically a leather hammock.

  • The $79 B17 is good enough - don't bother with the more expensive ones IMO.
