STEELE1 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I brought a replacement seat from air valley cycles, but that was a good 6years ago, so I'm sure there about, might take a few phone calls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Metcalfe Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Aire valley isn't too far from me at all. Will give them a call. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33th3tr33 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 If you can't get one I have a red one sprayed white you could have if you pay postage, if it's any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry26rims Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 hello there. I made the Carbon seat for Tom as a proto type. It snapped as i didn't use a Clear Gel coat for strength and didn't get the perfect finish. Also Tom was giving the bike a "diet" so weight had to be dropped on the seat as well. Managed to get the seat to 42.2g, almost 14g lighter than the plastic one! But yes it snapped! The one i use has 2 layers of gel coat and 1 layer of carbon and weighs in at 61g, 5g heavier but stronger. The mould i made is breaking up a little and a new one will be made when i get the time at work to do it. I will post a thread up when i have a finished product that i'm 100% happy with. Hope this is useful in future to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry26rims Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 not quite sure yet. Around 15quid, but have to do the bits at work as i'm in a block of flats and have no where to do it. So i can't give a date when i'll have one finished. What would be the colour you want? White, Red Or Black? Can't do a Carbon weave finish as have no clear gel.

terry26rims Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 good god! Orders are coming in. Will Martyn A get pissed with me for making these? Don't really want to upset the man that got me into Trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really want to upset the man that got me into Trials. I wouldnt have thought so. If anything I think he would be glad that replacement seats are available but you could always check with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Metcalfe Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 you are making them out of a different material in fairness.. and they are not exactly available to buy.. if you changed the design a little? look at RB Products with magura levers? It is a grey area I suppose. but as mentioned above would be best to get in touch with him. and i know what you mean about the man who got you into trials i saw his display at chester in august of 2007 - and ever since wanted to get in trials, reading his columns in mbuk etc. Now finally got his bike, Just trying to restore it to its former glory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
