Hi, i am the proud owner of a Brooks Swallow. I have done 2 rides on it so far, a total of 3 1/2 hrs cycling so not much riding at all and all of those miles were dry. I proofided the saddle as the instruction manual said before riding it.

After the first ride i noticed the tension assembly at the nose of the saddle had some movement in it ie i could move it a few mm in any direction with my hand like it was a little loose. After my 2nd ride this has become more pronounced and iv noticed the saddle not as firm as it was when i first got it.

My question is this, is this normal? has the tension bolt worked loose and detensioned the saddle on me? or has it stretched so much that it has lost tension and made the bolt loose? im 175lbs

Or is this normal? and if not should i retension until its firm and there is no play in the bolt?

Thanks in advance
