I know converter plates exist that together with a longer bolt will allow you to use double rail Brooks saddles with a modern micro-adjust seatpost, essentially using the existing clamp on the bottom of the bottom rail and the top of the top rail, with the plate between to avoid crushing them together. Does anyone know if there are multiple versions of these, and in which materials? My high-end semi-local BS knows only of a plastic one which is apparently not always strong enough, which means it's almost certainly not strong enough for me. Do any of these exist in alu or (even better) steel?
Or should I just go with the traditional post & clamp? The serrations on the traditional clamps often have difficulty securing the rotation of the saddle when I hit a particularly hard bump, although the Brooks one I have on another bike is much better than most.

I've got a couple of alu ones for use on the B72s.
Problem I had was that the saddle wires kept breaking under MTB use.
Rode the same Books B72 on the road, however, for at least five years with no problem. -- PeteCresswell
