Ok, I bought a used honey B17 about a year ago, it's only a couple of years old. Before I ever mounted it my wife bought a new B17 for me so this one has been sitting idle ever since. Now I need some cash so I want to list it on EBay or CL but it seems to flatten/flare when I firmly press down on it.

Is this something I can use the adjustment for to increase the tension? I wanted to ask before I goof anything up. I have seen where some people punch a few holes and lace up the bottom, I could do that too but I wonder what that would do to the resale value.

I've never tried adjusting a Brooks saddle so I'm a bit paranoid :-)

Looks like I need to "tension" it using the adjustment. I'll give it a whirl this evening.
