Squeaky Brooks Saddle
I have a Brooks B-67 saddle. (The one with Springs.) How do you stop the squeaking when going down a rough roads? I've tighten the bolts but I've also heard of greasing around the bolts. How in the world do you grease around the bolts? The space is so tight,

I've used WD-40 around the rivets. Goods news it worked, mediocre news it didn't last more than a few weeks.
Worse yet, i let it sit too long with the saddle inverted and the leather got splotchy from the oil leaking through. That looks much better now, though...didn't really last, either

Spray a little lube (actual oil, wd40 has a little bit of mineral oil in it..very little probably) at the leather-metal contact points in the horn and the back end..the squeaks will go away..and stay away. Spray very little..you don't need much
