Brooks Tension Pin Assembly 70 mm with Nut - Zinc - BMP174

I needed a replacement bolt for a B 17 saddle the 70 ml in my opinion was the wrong one . A friend had the 64 ml on which fitted easier
On the 70 ml the bit before the threads was too long

The newer bolts were longer which made it impossible to get in.

The B17 lives to fight another day, thanks to the speedy delivery of the Brooks tension bolt.

Quick and good value service!

What can I say that hasn't been said? Worth the cost to save a new saddle. Read all about fitting first and it's a breeze

Tension bolt arrived quite quickly. Glad I read comments here about using a spoon to lever it in, which got it almost into place. I then began tightening it, which popped it properly in position. My 40 year old B17 now looks, and feels, ready to do many more years service. Expensive for a bolt but well worth it to regain use of my saddle.

I bought it from SJS had trouble fitting it, looked on the internet and so did everyone else. However I found one guy who basically said. Tie everything together with plastic cable ties, holds it together then use a spoon concave section to head of the pin. and stretch out the loop and nose with the back of the spoon (using it as a lever) , push the pin down the concave part of the spoon with your weight. It will click in most of the way. Then hammer it with a chisel/screwdriver and rubber mallet into the hole. It worked in minutes and was fantastic. I have to share it,

Tension bolt for Brooks saddles, basically a special bolt with a rounded insert type head to fit the nose piece of a Brooks saddle. If yours breaks (I have had 2 break) you will need one of these, they can be quite tricky to fit, it does not look so but wait till you try!
IMHO expensive for just a bolt but a lot cheaper than buying a new saddle and easier on the bottom than a new (hard0 saddle.
