Re: [RBW] Brooks Saddle Squeaks

2012-02-24 Thread Steve Hemmelgarn
Larry, One of my Brooks saddles developed a squeak recently. I was able to stop the sqeak by applying a bit of oil to the point where the rails pivot at the nose of the saddle. I had tried lubing many other places without success.   Steve From: Larry Schellhase To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroup

Dick, I saw this also. Isn't a Protovelo a prototype? So this must have been a prototype Saluki before they were marketing them. Why would you want this when you already have a Bleriot? Oh I know. The correct number of bikes is N + 1 and you are currently at N. steve __
