1909 Adjustable Spanner and Tyre Lever
Mud Flap
In 1909, Mr Brooks and his son filed patent N째7709 for improvements in adjustable spanners in the form of a rather clever and simple solution for those cyclists in need of box spanners in a variety of sizes. Our new patent is an innovation upon the original, simplifying the design and saving weight. Spanner sizes from 1-19mm are possible by sliding the two pieces. The smaller piece is also a functional tyre lever.
Inspired by the design of the 1937 mudguard flap, our new Mud Flap is made of the same leather cut from the remainder of our saddle production. It is provided with 2 screw bolts to fix it to the fender.
Twin Straps
Trouser Strap
Brooks Twin Straps feature a removable connecting strip of leather, which allows them to be used as a double strap or as 2 single straps. They also feature the unique quick release buckle designed in the 1930s.
Our Trouser Strap helps the urban cyclist to fasten his or her trousers, thus preventing them from being caught in the chain ring.

The Book for Cyclists has been published in various forms since the 1880s. It has been an invaluable reference point for us as a company, a testament to the ingenuity and flair for communication born forth from our halls throughout our history. Today, as we look forward to the newest golden era for the bicycle, we happily continue this proud tradition, contributing the latest chapter to this long company narrative.
