Seat options

[nikroc]

So Im using the bike more and finding that the seat becomes a plank after twenty miles or so.

Im considering having it remodled to include more support,especially on the inner thigh area.

Any ideas/options?..

mines corbin, and I cant fault it,
a cheaper option is a re sculpture by tony archer ,etc, not as good imo, but the price is right,
I would go for a harder foam, and not bother with gel inserts,,
I have had 2 with gel, they didn't really do anything, it was the new shape that helped

Tony did my seat (there is a thread on here somewhere) and inserted varying density's of foam after I explained my size and levels of porkiness.

Gel was discussed but I got the impression he thought they were shite and its proper good but I doubt as good as a corbin or sargent (but then it cost me 65 squids).

Sounds good. Dya have any contact details?...

He has done loads of rex seats and as I say, he will put different density foam wherever you wish and will style it on any photo / description you have.

He did the one that is on pic 1 in my album

I have -this- seat for sale. Looking for £140+a standard seat.

Tony Archer rebuild here too - but with gel insert.

Is £65 about standard for a re working or is that cheap? Desperate to get mine done but budget is an issue.

[HootOwl]

the general rule of thumb is that you get what you pay for..... my gel insert alone was fifty quid, plus a new cover and foam took it over a ton...

As a fat bastard, I'd like to try the firmer foam to see if it works. The new seat designs and styles are awesome though.
