Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

laced brooks

Anyone with laced brooks, or other laced sadles, have any problem with the laces chaffing your legs?

mine is folded under then laced, but if I'd gone the more traditional route of lacing the skirts I'd use waxed cotton, or some other non-chaffey cord. Certainly not something course like Jute. I've never heard of anyone having trouble with that sort of chaffing though. perhaps because most people wear pants while riding.
