Qed, Maybe you should schedule a visit with your doctor to get those Bottom Grapes taken care of.qed wrote:It just shouts bottom grapes to me
did you end up going with the seat from power by pcx? I have the same problem as you, removed the hump, added padding and recovered the original seat, but there is still a "ridge" there when i try and slide back a little bit. The following picture is the type 1 seat powerbypcx sells, and looks like this may present the same problem; does this "ridge/edge" the arrows point too press up against your tailbone? or is it far back enough that i could stretch my legs forward without rubbing and riding right up against it?depthman wrote:I've got my PCX150 tweaked, except for the seat! I didn't like the little hump, so I took it off, and had a local upholstery guy fill the hole with foam and recover. But where it was filled in was kind of a hump, and it was not comfortable on long rides! I'm thinking of ordering one from Thailand Powerbypcx, but, of course, there's no way to know about a seat until you sit on it! So, I'm wondering if anyone here has tried any of their seats? (I'm not riding in this cold weather, but I want to be ready for spring!) Thanks.
The problem was that before the ridge the foam was rising up (see photo- but hard to show), instead of flowing down, so my butt didn't sit well back there. So I ended up pulling cover staples on half the seat and cutting down the foam there, put in a thin dense piece instead and recovered (bought a pneumatic stapler at Harbor Freight for about $25 which worked fine). So this is better! I also picked up an AirHawk seat cushion (which has been well reviewed) but haven't tried it yet. Only been on a few short trips as Spring still has not arrived here!loudgonzo wrote:did you end up going with the seat from power by pcx?

My guess is the Airhawk is probably better.WhiteNoise wrote:Lookie, lookie what I just foundhttp://www.billmayer-saddles.com/BMS/ergo/
