Brooks B17 Carved Saddle - Black

The break-in period can vary, but generally, it takes several weeks or a few hundred miles of riding for the leather to fully conform to your shape.

Wipe the saddle with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Apply Proofide leather dressing after cleaning.

Apply Proofide every few months or as needed, depending on the riding conditions and how much you use the saddle. More frequent application is recommended in wet conditions.

The saddle can be used in wet weather, but it's important to protect it. Apply Proofide regularly to waterproof the leather. Consider using a saddle cover during heavy rain.

The B17 Carved is compatible with standard seatposts that have clamps designed to fit saddle rails.

Use the laces on the saddle flaps. Tighten the laces as needed to maintain the saddle's shape and tension as the leather stretches over time. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

The B17 Carved requires a break-in period. Continue riding and the leather will soften and conform to your shape. Consider wearing padded cycling shorts.

Apply Brooks Proofide leather dressing regularly to keep the leather moisturized and prevent cracking.

Check and tighten all bolts. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the rails where the saddle connects to the seatpost clamp.

Ensure that the seatpost clamp is secure and holding the saddle rails properly. Adjust the saddle angle to find a comfortable position.
