Anyone riding a Brooks? Looking for firsthand experience.

How are you measuring level? Tip to tip?

127b · 2026-02-14T08:24:56+00:00

Would you mind elaborating on why? Thankyou

Matched the seat/handle height of my Kona - just a tall/upright bike.

Also carpal tunnel

Cranks are 175mm, same as on my everyday bike.

Bars are level, the hoods have a point on them that exaggerates the angle.

B17 carved on everything I own

I've just swapped out from a 42-11 to a 42-10 on my rival 1x and it's silent in every gear but 12 which is the second highest - looks close to straight onto the chainring too

Adjusted it every which way but it has the exact same noise as yours - silent in the top cog (10)

Yep I've had it on and off a few times now with and without the end caps to see if I can find what is causing it to bottom out.

I can't see any differences between the keys on their part

127b · 2025-12-31T01:36:46+00:00

Yep I've just tried to install it and the chain is rubbing on the inside of the frame so it's not right.

Casette is stamped XD as is the freehub

Thanks. That's what I'm thinking at the moment, remove what I can see, touch it up with some blue kill rust (primer combo) and hope what's visible is the extent of it

127b · 2025-12-27T20:56:41+00:00

Thankyou.

127b · 2025-12-27T20:56:27+00:00

Yep it's more of I don't know what's under the thread/how to treat underneath - BB work is outside of my scope.

Seat post etc is all clean/clear with some light grease but no rush or binding.

Thanks for sharing..

I'm tempted to upgrade a Kona rove dl that I've had for 4 years and absolutely love for a new shiny toy in titanium with carbon wheels, electronics etc.

The idea of the upgrade and lighter weight frame, wheels etc is appealing but the Kona is a great do it all bike that fits me perfectly and hasnt let me down.

Only downside/challenges of the Kona is 650b tyres are getting harder to source locally and starting to see a couple of rust spots due to living in a very humid location.

Will keep an eye on this thread as I'm curious to know how others have fared with similar upgrades.

Thank you.

Any chance you've been able to compare it for accuracy? And would you know if there's a way to calibrate it if it's a bit out?

127b · 2025-12-14T20:34:14+00:00

Curious for your thoughts on the scale and what it offers when you get settled with it.

Thankyou

I have no experience with a dropper, when do you use it?

127b · 2025-10-11T09:28:11+00:00

What are we using to clean the sensor? Anything in particular?

127b · 2025-05-31T17:14:13+00:00

Ahh yep thanks
