I've been riding a Cambium for a while. The rails broke, Brooks sent me a new set immediately and it's been fine ever since. Very easy to replace if you have the star driver, which I did. Riv of course offered to send me a whole new saddle. Silly, over the top customer service but they didn't ha

Where else is there a significant failure rate being reported? Three reported failures on that other discussion on the iBob list, one first-hand and the other two second-hand, indicates a systemic problem?

I have 3 C-17 carved and 1 regular C17, as well as a B-17n that I turned into a 'carved' model. I have the natural, slate and black C-17's. I have anywhere from a couple dozen up to a couple thousand miles on the Cambium saddles and have had no issues at all. I definitely much prefer the carved mod

Dead split between people who've had an issue & those who haven't!? Still, worrisome I have about a dozen bikes with Brooks saddles, including a C-17 (good so far, but it's only got a few hundred miles on it) I am worried though, because I just got a C-19 yesterday! -- You received this

heads up current discussion on iBob https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/internet-bob/VXruH2NKHEQ%5B1-25%5D at the very least, this would keep me away from a carved C17 for me, the only saddle is Brooks Select -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

I have the C-17 carved on my Rawland and I have been happy with it so far. I don't have the regular to compare to, but I have half a dozen bikes with B-17 & I think I prefer having the cut out to not having it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

I have had both the B17 and B17 Imperial and preferred the Imperial. I have a C17 now, but will be getting the C17 Carved for my AHH. My guess is that since I preferred the slot of the Imperial, I will prefer the slot of the Carved also. On Fri, May 27, 2016 at 9:20 PM, Eric Karnes wrote: > I'

I have both. I think I prefer the carved, but honestly, I don't think I can tell the difference in feel. I've done long rides 3 - 4 hours on both. Choose the color you prefer and toss a coin for carved or not... :-) René On Friday, May 27, 2016, Eric Karnes wrote: > I'm thinking about giving t
