Lowering it may be all you have to do. I hadn't figured that you may have had it too high, but that would contribute to squeaking at the spring nuts. B67's work best when they are a tad lower than you might set a road saddle - maybe a centimeter lower. This gives a little more room for your thigh at the back, where it meets the flair. Also, before you grease, tighten the nuts a little. You'll be surprised at how loose they are. Not too tight, just re-snug them with a 13mm wrench. And remember to just squeeze the skirts together to test for the leather-on-steel rubbing before you bother with the rubber gaskets.

I've never had a problem either, til I got that new honey 17 in the pic. I swear it sounded like one of those tiny green tree frogs around here. My experience with sprung Brooks has been with solving others' problems. My two 67's haven't made a sound yet.

I have a Brooks Flyer Special on an old 3 speed, And I love it

My next Brooks will be a Flyer for my Trek 520.

Ordered last Friday, shipped on Monday.

Arrived today and both saddles look great.

You got a very good price for the Brooks. They recently jumped in price because Brooks changed distributers in the US and because of the current dollar/pound value. They probably still had some in stock merchandise that they had gotten at the lower price. Last month, I quickly bought another one from Rivendell because they were still at the old price of $70. Their price has gone up to $95 now also. Same with Harris Cyclery.

As for my squeaking honey B67, after I lowered the saddle most of the squeak went away, and it was a lot easier to pedal the bike too . There still is a little bit of a squeak and, if I have some time this weekend, I'll try the suggestions of tightening the bolts and putting in a rubber shim. Thanks.
