Brooks

The Brooks B17 is the gold standard for long distance bike touring my last B17 lasted nearly 8000 miles and may have lasted longer if I took better care of it. Brooks build quality is exceptional and the leather conforms to your body over time. Bike Tires Direct has become my new go to source when my local bike shop doesn't carry something. They have a great selection of products for the type of riding I do and their customer service has been excellent.

I have more than a few Brooks B-17 saddles. The 20 year old one on my touring bike. I love that saddle! We got history! I kinda wanted to put another B-17 on my gravel bike, but wanted to try the cambium saddle. Several cyclists in my local club use them, so I figured I'd give it a go.

You know how you can tell a saddle is right for you? From the first ride, the main thing I noticed was that after 50 miles, I didn't think about my saddle. Yeah I knew I was on a new saddle, but it just worked for me, right out of the box! Yeah, they're kind of heavy, but so am I! Highly recommend!

After my seat post and saddle were stolen, I needed a replacement and this was the best price in the area. The seat post was in stock at the physical location, but I had to order the saddle online. It only took a few days to arrive, and was comfortable right out of the box. It's great for commuting and riding across the city for pleasure and looks sharp! It's possible to thread a cable through the seat, so I'll be locking it from now on if I'm in an area where thefts seem likely.
