Title: Comfy seat
Post by bent_mike on Mar 15^th, 2017, 9:27pm

[smiley=chinscratch.gif]I have just taken over an Advantage Cycles A3 style trike.

It has a fixed mesh seat on a pipe frame. I can see the pipe getting tiring on long rides.

Are there any suggestions on how to modify or add to this seat, to cushion the stiffness?

Check that trike out very carefully before you ride it much. We had one at the shop recently and it had some significant issues.

[smiley=cheers.gif]Thanks for the warning. I have been riding it a lot lately. I have not found many problems. I need to work on the front and rear derailleurs which fight me on low and high gears.

Otherwise it goes pretty well. Of course the motor gives out faster than I would like. ;)
