About this deal

Before getting into the details of types of bike chain lubrication, it is worth considering what exactly chain lubrication does.

After several other saddles didn't work, I gave up any pride and tried the Brooks B17 (my brother says so named because of its weight being similar to the aircraft of same name) and have been comfortable for the following three years. I currently have the B17 but i remember when you got the Berthoud Touring saddle and how much you seem to like it that i think this might be next saddle choice.If you plan on hanging a Brooks bag from the rear lugs I suggest you take a few strips of emory cloth to them as the inside of the punched slots are quite sharp and actually cut one of my hanging straps. The Brooks Swift is the youngest leather racing saddle in the Brooks range, featuring delicately hand-skived lower flaps, where a thin stripe of the leather top surface is cut back, thus exposing the lighter coloured suede beneath, which makes for an attractive visual accent and greater comfort when pedalling.

The Victorinox Bike Tool is effectively a mini socket set: the magnetic 5mm hex key detaches from the tool holder and then you fit any bit piece to it: the range includes 2-6mm hex keys, a T25 Torx key, and flat and cross-head screwdriver bits. After the break-in period, it is normal and proper to tension the saddle to retain its shape and comfort.The body of the tool also features two clip-in tyre levers that are made from strong plastic composite, and do a good job of levering stubborn tubeless tyres from wheel rims, as well as having a nice rounded profile to protect the tube. The safest answer is "no" , BUT if you are careful and target the powerful jet of a pressure washer only at the right places, then it can be an excellent time and water efficient way of washing your bike. Our current lead-time on handbuilt wheels is approx 2 weeks, and approx 2 weeks for custom bike builds. I bought this saddle to put on a retro build I put together but then enjoyed the ride of the saddle so much I bought another one for my carbon rig.

It's perfect for racing or fast touring in the forward position, as well as city cycling and bikepacking. It was traditionally available only with titanium rails, but since 2008 it has also been manufactured with a chrome plated steel metalwork. Featuring a unique laser-etched design across the saddle’s entire surface, hand-skived lower flaps, and classic Brooks England comfort, commemorate this important milestone with our L’Eroica-edition Swift saddle, and enjoy your rides in a style inspired by the Golden Age of cycling.

I have had the saddle on my touring/winter bike for two months now, and clocked up a fair few miles.
