#Maker #BikeTooter #LeatherCraft

So my #BrooksSaddle broke. It ripped at the nose rivets. I contacted brooks and they were not willing to send a new leather top, so i've made my own. I've never done any leather work before, and i found it quite rewarding.

If they have a posh video on YouTube with the bearded hipster wearing a corduroy shirt to demonstrate it to you, it's going to be easy.

If they don't have one, there be dragons.

You have been warned

Just spent 1.5h to replace the tension pin of my #BrooksSaddle. It's doable but better not try doing this on a new saddle that has not been stretched a bit already.

Latest bike saddle update: the pet dog here was licking his lips and thinking about licking the bike saddle πŸ‘€

Note: this just has Proofide and a little extra bees wax in it, and he does not look bees wax. So, apparently, Proofide smells edible, LOL. I am about to take it on a short ride to see how it goes, if the dog start sniffing my pants.... #BrooksSaddle

Just took a quick ride on this -- just a mile or two and back. Already *far* better than the rock I had installed on there!!! This is going to be great even before the break in period. #BrooksSaddle
I take great pleasure in applying Proofide to a new Brooks saddle #brookssaddle
Never compromise on the contact points. Grips, saddles and pedals. #brookssaddle #workshop #britishdesign #italianmade #iphotography #thebicycleboy
