I'm thinking it's time to adjust them, but nothing I do to the bolt will engage it with the nut. It's driving ME nuts!
You don't touch the bolt. The bolt stays still. You turn the nut with the special Brooks Spanner Wrench. as the nut rotates it pulls the bolt through the nut and pushes the nut forward towards the nose of the saddle.
I think you turn the nut clock wise while you look ad the saddle from the nose.
I adjust mine only 1/4 of a turn around the bolt at a time. like from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock.
You really need the special wrench or you can mess up the nut very quick.
