This is because of the amount of load on the springs changing...also apparently after ~1000km the springs become mushier... I couldnt argue with him.
do you guys not beleive in this?
Hmmm I guess it possible that the springs sag with age or a really big rider but it will be a lot more then 1000km. I have about 2500 miles (4,000 plus km) on mine now and I haven't noticed a change in the angle just a little sag in the leather where my sit bones are once it broke in. I had to initially tilt the nose up a little to keep me back on the saddle till it started to break in (slippery) on both the B17 and the flyer. Then I leveled it up at about 500 mile. Pretty common comment with the Brooks.
