for Kajsa. I hope things improve.

I think changing to a Brooks saddle at this stage is a big mistake. They can be good straight out of the box but my B17 took over a year to break in. Some people never get used to them.

Negative or what! Anyone would think you'd just lost a referendum!

For what it's worth, my B17 (Flying Fortress) was the best saddle I've ever had straight from the box, and has only got better.

I've watched the video now. Sorry...oops!

Its not negative, its fact. A lot of people don't get used to them. Some are great out of the box, some are not. If Kajsa is having to dump her saddle into a bowl of water I can only assume things are not going as she wanted them to. I have been in touch with her and offered to send her my Charge Spoon or Charge Pan if she thinks it will help. I have already helped her legs as she is using my massage machine. The last thing I would be with Kajsa and her record attempt is negative.

I didn't need to vote in the referendum. I've lived in Denmark for 14 years.

Did you not see my retraction?

I had already inferred that you might live in Denmark - the clue is there. The referendum comment was an attempt at humour, something that's not particularly easy to summon up just now in this part of the world.

Once again, sorry!

Cant see the vid as only have intermittent connectivity. Hope things aren't too bad. I wonder if a few days of reduced mileage to recover might be a good idea.

Switching saddles, esp to a Brooks does seem odd. It might work. My current Brooks didn't need breaking in, but anecdotal evidence seems against her.

 

[steveindenmark]

My B17 took a year to break in. Oddly enough I mistakenly bought a womans Imperial for 8 quid off e bay Germany and did a 100 miler on it the following day and it was fine. Its been fastened to my workshop ceiling ever since.

Yesterday's efforts from Kajsa and Amanda brought the projected catch date forward one day, to August 6th. I still think August 7th is the most likely.
