Maintenance of Brooks saddles
Having a Brooks leather saddle is a long-term investment, a companion for your bike that will accompany you for many kilometers, but it is important to take into account the aspects related to the care of the saddle, and the correct adaptation of the same to our physiognomy using correctly the wax to soften it
The Brooks saddle wax is undoubtedly the best product to achieve the process of "break in" or "break" of the skin as they call, it is to "break" the rigidity of the leather to adapt to our body, for this we recommend pouring a small amount of Brooks grease (do not use another) on top, spread it gently over the entire surface and wait for it to dry, then polish it with a cloth, this process must be repeated at first for several times, until you notice that the leather has enough flexibility.
We also recommend without a doubt the Brooks Maintenance Kit that contains all the necessary elements for its care.
This process has to be repeated every 3 or 6 months, but it also depends on the humidity of the environment in which we are, because in humid cities it is possible that the saddle does not need to be softened in any way, if you do not use mudguards and to improve the conservation it is advisable to use wax also on the lower part, over time we can adjust the tension of the saddle with the front screw
Brook Bags and Backpacks
The manufacturer Brooks England also has a wide range of tool bags such as the Challenge Tool Bag or the D-Shaped Tool bad, ideal as a retro leather accessory for your Vintage bike, other models such as the Tool Roll are very comfortable and elegant, also Brooks has high quality backpacks and saddlebags such as the Brick Lane Panniers, or the Hackney Back pack and many others.
