Im not sure. Also.. btw, how much does the treatment they sell cost roughly in Europe, and is it worth getting, or does a good dose of any oil based polish/treatments do the trick ???
Thanks!! Sorry for hijacking the thread, but since were all talking about Brooks!!!
Slightly up in front is very normal for a Brooks. Slipping forward is an adjustment issue. Raise the front and move the saddle forward til you stop slipping onto the peak. The purpose of the peak is help keep you back there. Also, the slickness is a good thing for keeping you dry and comfortable.
