Brooks Cambium C17 Carved Review: unboxing and first ride.

5MV-43 - Brooks Cambium C17 Carved Review: unboxing and first ride. -------------------------------------- In my last video (   • A  New Saddle: it should not have to be a ...  ) I described how I decided on a new saddle for my touring bike. I ordered that saddle, a Brooks Cambium C17 Carved, and it has arrived. In this video I unbox the saddle, give it a desk-top first look and report on my first ride experience. Once I have ridden a couple of thousand km using the saddle I'll give a long-term review and tell you if it was a good purchase or if I made a mistake. Here is a link to the Brooks website and the saddle I purchased: https://www.brooksengland.com/en_uk/c... ========================= About the 5MV channel -------------------------------------- My name is Terry and I love cycling. I have named my channel “Five Minute Velo” (5MV). I have called it 5MV because the videos I upload will last no longer than five minutes, many will be much shorter. Each video will cover just one subject that is described in the title. Although the channel is mainly about cycling on the road, I will also cover some light (gravel) off road riding and cycle touring from time to time. No matter what, much of the advice will be pertinent to many branches of the sport/pastime. I am new to posting videos on YouTube (May 2020) and I have much to learn, particularly in terms of presentation style and production quality. As such I welcome constructive comments that will help me improve the videos that I produce and upload. There may be some dry humor in some of the videos, so dry it may not always be obvious :-). ==================== My strava profile can be found here:   / strava   Cambridge Cycling Club website: http://www.cambridge-cycling-club.org...
