New Saddle Special – Now It’s Proofide

When you have bought a new saddle at Wallingford Bicycle Parts we offered you the Brooks Care Kit at a reduced price. We have changed the New Saddle Special deal from the discounted Care Kit to a $12 tin of Proofide for $6

This change came about because Brooks has changed their packaging a little and they include a spanner with all saddles that use a spanner for tension adjustment.

(The spanner (wrench) is used to adjust the tension on Brooks saddles. It is a Whitworth nut and there are no inch or metric wrenches that work. Needle nose pliers can be used with no ill effect.)

When a manufacturer changes something usually the change does not happen all at once. In this case we are still getting saddles in ‘08 boxes along with a few of the new ‘09 presentation. The saddles are exactly the same. There is no advantage to insisting on a new box.

There isn’t any way to automate getting the right New Saddle Special matched up with the saddle you are buying. If you are buying a saddle and want to get the special deal on the care kit with a saddle that doesn’t include a wrench then call us up and we will make sure you get the correct special deal.
