Re: [RBW] Clicking Brooks sprung saddle question

[Tim Gavin]

I've hunted down and fixed a couple noises from my Brooks Flyers, but they
always return with friends.  C'est la vie à ressort (that's life on
springs).

[RBW] Clicking Brooks sprung saddle question

[Jay Connolly]

I have clicking on a Brooks B17 aged saddle. Drives me nuts and was hard to 
chase down. I could feel it in the frame. Changed the bars, lubed the stem, 
checked teh BB, the cables, the spokes. Glad I'm not the only one.

[RBW] Clicking Brooks sprung saddle question

[MountNormal]

I've read about people melting (with a hair dryer) Proofide into the "joints" 
of the saddle..not sure if it would work on the springs but perhaps it would 
and it would be safer than other lubes if it got on the leather.

[RBW] Clicking Brooks sprung saddle question

[lum gim fong]

Brand new, maybe 100 miles on it. Flyer Imperial.

Love it, but it has started clicking. Not squeaking, like we often hear 
reported.

One click per pedal stroke.

Can be recreated by grabbing the back of the saddle with thumb on top and 
fingers under the springs and squeezing.

One click per squeeze. Feels solid though, not like something is loose.

I guess I will lube any metal parts of the frame that look like they touch 
each other and see if that does it.

*Anyone had this before with their sprung Brooks?*
*Fixes?*
