Brooks B17 squeaking annoyance problem

Posted on
  • How can I stop my beloved Brooks saddle sounding like an antique wicker rocking chair? Every time i sit down it infuriates me so.

    Some of you must know what I'm talking about...?

  • yes, I know your pain.

    grease the thread on the adjuster bolt, and maybe tighten it a little. but grease the shit out of that mechanism and say goodbye to the sqeakage

  • i had the same problem but with my B130, I did exactly the same as RPM, although there are a few more contact points and it's silent now

  • probably would be best to slacken off the adjuster nut, apply grease to the threads were the nut sat then tighten it back up to the same point, to save over tightening.

  • but it seems to come from the rear of the seat? i'm gonna kill it tonight i swear.

  • If it has springs then maybe the back.

    After chopping mine I got a squeak that I could have sworn was it was the BB.
    Tightened the adjuster 90 degrees and '..............'. Silent.

  • Superprecise but it seems to come from the rear of the seat? i'm gonna kill it tonight i swear.

    i silenced a squeeky san marco regal with a bit of araldite :D

  • WD40 and it's gone! was gonna take the bolt out and grease it properly but it looked like a right a faff.

    Capillary action.

  • Mine was squeaking for a bit.
    But one ride to Brighton and that seemed to fix it.
    Just an idea.
