Brett,
Learning to accept scratches (to your brooks or bike) is one of the things
in life that you have to come to on your own. There are a few things you
can do, proofide, saddle soap or obenaufs to try and buff them out, shoe
polish if you want to get more aggresive. None of them will
Smitty, glad you enjoyed the ride. I was bummed I couldn't be out
riding but was instead stuck at work. I'll definitely be at the 200k
and I hope you show up for that. It's a new route this year and looks
great. Cant say how hard it'll be but there's sure to be plenty of
good company. Thanks for
My Brooks is almost 40 years old. I bought a Raleigh Competition in 1973;

I'm interested in this too as I'd like to run the Grand Bois tires but have
to deal with lots of goat heads. Does it really matter if it can stay
inflated with a nail through it if its just going to go flat when the
offending object comes out?

Well, I've not encountered any goat heads since I put the Foss on my custom.
I'm skeptical about how that would/will go.
I'm pretty sure the Foss only works when the offending penetrator remains
engaged (sounds a bit clinical?)

I use a Planet Bike mounted on that rack. One reasons I like it is
because it has one of the best reflectors of any blinky type light I

I appreciate all the advice, I really do. I should mention that I have come to
terms with scratches and dings that I make, but not intentional gouges made by
a vandal. Really, they are ugly and tell no story other than some people
suck. I suppose I will get over this too.
