But the ones made by Randi Jo Fabrications (formerly Rainy Peak) are - https://www.randijofab.com/products-...s/saddle-cover

She'll make custom ones to fit the wider Brooks saddles too. She made me one for my B68s that's been on my bike since the rainy season started and it's great. It has a flap underneath to keep the underside dry, and stays snugly in place so you can leave it on while riding. Can't recommend it highly enough!

she makes great cycling caps too. Every member of our household, including the 4 and 6 year old, have 'em now.

I've got a cover and I've been thinking about using the spray that makes clothing waterproof. I wonder if that will help.

Just put a B17 on my mtb. Now I'm second guessing myself about whether or not it should have been a B17S. I bought it from the LBS, so if it doesn't work, I'll have to sell it. Still, it is loads better for my bum than the WTB I was riding.

Does anyone have a "trick" for making the B67s stop pinging? I remember reading that KnottedYet had the same thing happen with her sprung saddle. It makes a creaking and pinging noise, sometimes. I love the saddle so much, that even if I can't silence it I'm keeping it. I was just curious if this is something that will fade away with use, or if I can do something to make it stop.

My best guess would to maybe put a little chain lube or something similar at the bottom of the coils where the contact points are. Maybe it will go away with time once the saddle is fully broken in???

you can call Wallbikes and ask them what to do. YOu can search here in this forum and probably find directions..

My B67s did that until I put a few drops of light machine oil on the nose tensioning bolt. Get an oil bottle with the long straw-like applicator. Be careful not to get it on the leather. The noises almost drove me crazy. After the oiling, it went away and never came back.
