I just don’t want the cotton/canvas surface to keep peeling away like it is. Second, I appreciate the straightforward, no-B.S. They also offered to replace the saddle with another Cambium – an offer I was happy to accept, considering how much I enjoyed the first one.This all begs the question: would I recommend buying the Brooks Cambium after this experience?

Below the surface, the saddle is as solid as ever. Brooks England did neither of these things, and instead has failed to deliver on their service guarantee. The team's package was quick and reliable, but not quite enough to regularly score points. This was their best WCC position so far, but there was still some way to go to take on the likes of It was with this car that the last round steering wheel in Formula 1 was used. It was driven by Jean Alesi, who joined from Benetton, and Johnny Herbert, who was in his third season with the team after an impressive 1997 season. I’m wondering if a canvas waterproofing treatment might be a good idea but am afraid to try. Fearing damage to the nethers from long hours in the saddle, I opted for the “carved” model that includes a cutout to relieve pressure on the perineum, though I’ve since heard from other Cambium owners that the standard model is just as comfortable. Immediately, the two tubular steel saddle rails bent at a 15-20% angle near the saddle clamp, rendering the saddle unridable. I contacted Brooks yet again to let them know. Off the bike, he works in e-commerce / mobile experience and enjoys writing about adventure by bike.Very useful write-up. I wonder if they’d sell you just a replacement rubber top? All steering wheels have been rectangular since then. 1998 confirmed Sauber's position as a respectable midfield runner unable to make the final breakthrough needed to become a top team.

answer from Brooks, even if it took them a while to respond. While I would expect a quality saddle to be more resilient to this type of treatment, especially considering the abuse my mountain bike saddles have seen in over-the-bars crashes, I contacted Brooks to see what repair options were available. I have been waiting well over a month with nothing but silence.Bummer to hear that you’re having similar issues. Long-term testing proved the saddle can endure the standard wear-and-tear that a daily commuter or adventurer can throw at it – and look fantastic doing it.If you are a company selling high-end products at a global scale, you should be willing and able to repair your products at the same scale. Perhaps if I throw a post up somewhere it might get their attention. Three days passed. What resulted from my inquiry is one of the most lengthy and frustrating experiences I’ve had with a bicycle parts retailer.I received a response four days after my inquiry that recommended I email the Brooks Repair team in Philadelphia, for which they provided an email (interestingly enough, hosted at Gmail.com). After two years of daily use, the ride quality is indistinguishable from the day it came out of the box.If you are a company selling high-end products at a global scale, you should be willing and able to repair your products at the same scaleAbout three weeks ago, I clipped a pedal while cornering at low-speed, causing my weight to shift abruptly onto the nose of the saddle. Having received no response from the Philly Team, I reached back out to Brooks England to ask for their recommendation.Five days later, they responded with a direct-contact to “Simon”, who runs a state-side Brooks repair business. One of the rails sheared through after a year, and I’m now past 3 weeks trying to get a warranty replacement.
