I'm about to start breaking in my new Brooks!! I've got it on my trainer bicycle (the Giant), and I'm hoping that by the end of winter, it'll be broken in.

I've got about 40,000 kms on my older Brooks, and it has the comfort of an easy chair now. I can hardly believe it once looked like my new Brooks.

.

The cat and the mouse hole made me look twice.

There is actually a mouse in between the cat and the mouse hole.

Just wanted to point out most people try to reduce the weight of their bikes and NOT add ankle weights to the handlebars.



Just sayin'.

Well ... I've never been "most people".

Wow, now that's what I call broke in!

Yep ... and that's what they are supposed to look like when they are broken in. They are only supposed to be flat for the first few hundred kilometers, and then they are supposed to start developing sitbone divots.

Mine started looking like that at about 800 kms ... and Rowan tightened it for me a few hundred kilometers ago. It was starting to get just a bit too saggy.
