'Wobbly Brookes B67'
Hi Guys,
I have a Brookes B67 saddle, purchased in August 2008, and it feels a bit loose. In fact, very loose..

A friend has the same saddle in tan, bought more or less at the same time, and it's bone-hard. Mine isn't uncomfortable per se, but I'm guessing that that amount of wobble isn't a good thing. Does anyone know how I adjust/tighten it?
Thanks.

Brooks saddles have a adjustment nut under the nose of the saddle. You should have gotten a wrench with the saddle. Yes that saddle looks really loose not just a little.
How did that saddle get so loose?

So how many turns do you reckon I give the little nut under the nose?

Iwould tighten til it's stiff like new.
You may want to ask in the touring forum since lots of the tourers use Brooks.
