Quick question about B17 N butchering
I'd like to know if the logo of the Brooks B17n is placed more inwards, because if so.. the end result of butchering would leave some of the logo. I was just wondering if it'll get cut clean, or if it'll leave some logo.
I am aiming for this look, but I'd like something more narrow than standard B17. ( It would be ugly to have some of the side logo left.)
Thanks in advance,
Will

When I chopped mine I decided to tie it ala swallow. You can also tie them without leaving flaps by just punching a few holes.
Here's the thread about mine https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...ighlight=kinky

I am curious because I've seen butcher jobs of other Brooks such as the Brooks Pro, and when cutting below that grove that most people do, it leaves half of the logo exposed as an end results, which looks pretty silly IMO.
