Thank you all for your helpful responses. Cyclist1959 (I'm sorry, I'm not seeing your given name or I would address you as such), your description is exactly the problem. I fiddled around with it - tried loosening the bolt, vice grips - yowza - it's stuck. I looked in vain for a YouTube video.

I'm not familiar with that particular twist but all my Brookses eventually develop a leftward slide of the sideskirt, I guess my left leg is a smidge shorter and I - as Grant calls this phenomenon - "pedal left." I'll leave it to others to recommend a fix if there is one, my solution is to ride
