Title: seat mod
Post by: hard road on Monday, 29 May 2023, 03:36 AM
been struggling with the angle of the seat so set too and cut it down a bit. I cut about 15mm from the rear of the riders part to try and level it out a bit. it now sits flatter so hopefully my butt won't curl up when riding  :embarrassed:  it feels much better but haven't had chance to ride it yet, will give it a run tomorrow  :grin:

Add a gel pad - makes a lot of difference to comfort (as does rounding the sides off)
