Hey gang, I am very weak on understanding Brexit so here goes...is Brooks NOT selling to bike manufacturers in the UK due to Brexit regulations? is Brooks selling to individuals in the UK if purchases are through their website? Any other weirdness that stands out in this? Not connected to...

The price breakdown follows what we have seen on-line and at the bike shops. We picked up a Giant & Liv and then did all the personalizations that we all lavish on our rides. I gaze at all the high end stuff and dream a lot. But at those prices, and knowing that I would still have to get a...

I think they clarify a lot of otherwise failed communications. Kind of like comparing a telephone conversation and a face-to-face conversation with identical words. Like reading something akin to facial expressions. First time my wife and kids explained them to me. I thought these are stupid...

Hello and welcome!

Love the setup! We've been trying to figure out the logistics of recharging. Seems like riding state/local(KOA) campground to campground gives us access to power and campsite every night but they are often too far apart, even with two batteries. Hotels/motels are a bear if you have to climb...

Everyone's posting are very much like what I have encountered in the pre-covid group rides. Only very rarely have I encountered rude or arrogant "professionals". Most everyone has always been helpful with pointers, reminders and the occasional use of a hex-wrench. Sometimes a little...

Hello and thanks! I am afraid that I was very unclear. Quite familiar with drafting on a conventional ride. I've just never been very good at it (not enough nerve to ride in close enough with that many riders around me!). I was just surprised at the possibility of practical drafting on an...

Hey guys, The road and gravel group rides seem to be just starting up again around here so my wife and I are going on our first with the e-bikes. Weird that it has been a whole year! We have been just puttering about by ourselves. Anyway, about the drafting comment and nursing batteries. Is...

I love it! I could not make the padding thing work though. All bunched up and 'scrunchy' or binding. Finally found that I like the slick Brooks or an old Norex saddle with smooth-ish shorts. No padding in pants. Like an old horse saddle. The lacing holes in the nose will let you narrow the...

Hi there, I use a Brooks Flyer. The rails aren't as long as many but there are various set back posts if you need a lot of rearward travel. My wife uses also uses a Flyer but it is the short version and, more importantly, it is the pre-softened leather! I wish I had seen one before I broke...

Hello, I understand that in N.Z. you can get the Giant Explore STA at a higher grade than the +4 available here in the U.S. I love my +4(in spite of gripes I have posted on EBR. The bike is still fantastic. Same for my wife's Liv equivalent. If I could afford to buy another, I would. It is...

Hello Stefan, Please let me know if you get this post. I think I got myself 'kicked out' due to a very heated and inappropriate exchange. I was very uncivil. It was, in fact, my fault. At least I think it was my fault. Just checking to be sure if I am able to communicate with anyone.
