Brooks England
avaliações:

After being a happy B17 owner for over a decade, I’m heartbroken over my latest Brooks experience. I worked with a custom builder to create my dream bike for my 50th birthday, choosing a new B72 as the cherry on top. On new bike day, I couldn’t even ride it — turns out the B72 needs the Sandwich Seat Adapter, which I had to buy separately. When I installed it, the two spacers wouldn’t sit straight between the saddle’s double rails; they kept tilting to one side, leaving the saddle crooked. I had several mechanics try to fix it, but no one could get it right. When I tried to return the overpriced Sandwich Adapter through Brooks’ website, I just got an error message saying I didn’t purchase it through their store — even though I did. To make matters worse, my builder bought the saddle from a seller in Italy and can’t return it now, especially since the rails are scratched from all the attempts to fix it. After two weeks of frustration, I still don’t have a working saddle for my birthday bike. For a company built on craftsmanship and heritage, this has been the biggest letdown of my cycling life.

It's a gotta have for those with B72 double rail saddles wishing to use modern seatposts.

The Alignment can be a little tricky. I needed an M7 bolt that didn’t come with the kit.

The sandwich seat adapter does not work as expected. When the sandwich seat adapter is fitted to the B190 to replace the double rail system for conventional seat clamps, it does not have the same vertical stability, which causes the double rail of the B190 to bend and become out of vertical. This is absolutely dangerous. As a countermeasure, a metal piece like the original adapter for the conventional saddle clamp (with a piece of tube inside for stability) must be fitted to prevent bending and deviation from the ideal vertical. I hereby urge Brooks to improve the sandwich seat adapter as it poses a safety risk.

Getting a 190 Seat is the first Double Rail seat I have ever had. Depending on the Bicycle it is mounted on, or the conditions it is used, it is the most amazing support a bike seat I have ever felt.

Solved my mounting problem for a double rail saddle. Strong and secure. quick and secure shipping.

They are horrible. I mounted them perffect. Following all instructions. First ride they rolled to the side and bent the seat rails. Pretty sure the seat is ruined!!. I am currently trying to get a refund for blocks and seat replaced.
