Welcome to my practice channel, hat I setup last year when Google would not let me login. I use to practice my talking, that got a bit of a hit after I had a little brain fart (t.i.a.). One of the things I also practice, is using music in videos :) It makes them a bit less boring i.m.h.o.
Nice that somebody got something out of that video :) But I doubt that I'm the first one who ever fixed a Brooks saddle this way. All those brooks B66 saddles seem to suffer from the same problem. Although this one was particularly bad. But I'm sure you got some with the same issue :) I actually fixed up another one with the same problem. Long video alert: ua-cam.com/video/B-UglpP9V9A/v-deo.html
You're right you should have looked at some UA-cam vids lol for a start i would have cleaned the springs and used fine wet and dry paper to smooth down the cracked leather and re stained it before using oil but it all depends how far you want to renovate the saddle but it did make an improvement all the same👍
Interesting video. Personally, I would probably have started with some leather soap to remove the old dirt. And after that I would have applied grease. Best wishes. Marc
@@RolingRandom Hi, me again. You may check this out: Glyzerin Lederseife by Horse fitform, available on Amazon.de I saw you using Lederfett, a German product. And I heard your German pronounciation. I assume you understand and possibly speak some German. So I think it does make sense to refer you to Glyzerin-Lederseife. You apply it to dirty leather like cream, let it do its job for some time, wash the dirt off with lukewarm water, let the leather dry, and then apply leather grease. Best wishes / herzliche Grüße Marc
I actually made my own :) ua-cam.com/video/B-UglpP9V9A/v-deo.html Question, do new Brooks saddles come with a spanner, or do they make you buy one separately?
watching you use that wire brush on the underside on the leather was painful to watch. You basically just turned the underside into suede leather which is going to be much tougher to take care of. A good scrubbing with some saddle soap and a medium brittle brush would have worked wonders, followed by the leather conditioner.
No, just a re-upload without the music and only basic audio volume level tweaks. I did fix up another saddle, but that video became rather long. Have a look if you got some time to kill: ua-cam.com/video/B-UglpP9V9A/v-deo.html (no music because that would take to long to pick out)
You got a picture of my hacksaw! How did you do that? Also, was thinking you could just paint olive oil or something onto it. Maybe also some balsamic vinegar.
You also got the wonderful chinesium blades :) I got another leather saddle, that is a lot drier, almost brittle. And I was thinking about brushing some vegetable oil on the underside before I start tensioning it. At the moment you are basically sitting on the frame and it sucks :) I need to google balsamic vinegar.
The S is for "Short" on Brooks saddles generally used by women, but if a man thinks it is more comfortable than a longer standard men's saddle they can use it as well. It isn't like it is neon hot pink or labeled all over as "women's" to be noticeable or on blast. The only identification of what the saddles model is you typically will have covered with your butt anyway, so nobody will ever know if you don't tell them.
Dat was nog flink wat werk aan zo'n zadeltje. Leuke video
that double top tube is so great
I'm back! Thank you so much. Quality just fine.

Your trick with the M8 bolt has taught me something.

A coach bolt may have been better?
It is normal to moisturise the underside of a leather saddle once every year or two. 👍
I love your clogs! It reminded me of my childhood in Holland, when all the farmers wore them.
All the best from Scotland. 🇳🇱🇬🇧
Leather saddle whisperer 😂😂😂
I don’t even like a leather saddle 😂😂😂
That one was good 😂😊

Next saddle I fixed up, I cleaned it with some white spirits. Never heard of leather soap, I will have to look that up :)

marc try some 600 grit sandpaper clean and grease
@@RolingRandom It's called Saddle Soap.
You do need a special Brooks spanner. I have several. I will send you one if you want

Sounds like sounds like the godfather marlon brando

I need to google balsamic vinegar.
Furthermore I apologise for my nation's threads. We have now seen the light. Maybe squash an m8 in the vice and use that.
The nut is probably a cycle thread.
You might be right.
is the S model for women , as in "small"?
A B66 saddle is a bit longer so I think the B66S is probably the small model.
