Luke Drewery Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) Go for a cross country seat, they are narrow and light as well as comfortable. Something like this would do nicely i should think, you wouldnt keep getting caught on it. Edited May 29, 2005 by scunnytrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Different people find different saddles comfy, I suggest you go to a bike shop with many different XC bikes and have a wee sit on them. That way you'll get a feel for what you like. Then you can make a better decision. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCircus Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Seat wise I like this the most; Odyssey MX seat: I like this seat becuase it retains the looks of xc racing seats, while still maintaining comfort, strength etc. It is also pretty cheap at £20. But, some people prefer this seat, I like them both; Shadow Conspiracy Slim seat: This seat is a bit more bmx style, but still sleek etc. It is also a bargain at £22. You can also get different coloured stitching...which is nice. Overall those are generally cheap seats, but if you want to go for a bit of big pimpin' try out a Macneil Seat and Post combo with a Macneil SL seat. Its super light, but pretty expensive for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biketrialler Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 I got on pretty well with the DMR jump seat actually :huh: Cheap, comfyish, not too weighty I dont think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 I have a dmr jump seat expert on my jump bike. I love it. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer@hulltrials Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 I have a DMR jump seat but ............... i ripped the padding off it, its not like on a trials bike it gets used that often, its reasonably comfy to plonk my arse on if its really needed. just get a cheapish, slim profile saddle rip the padding off and use that, i say never really noticed much difference, as you can buy saddles in the same style for use on road bikes except there carbon jobbies, but on a trials bke you hardly need the comfort.

Bendee Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 specialized body geo's are nice and so are the new tioga ones mike ← These tioga seats are real nice i saw them at the bike show on a revell. If you still have that megamo the black and white colour would go with your frames paint job. Also i wouldnt bother with the bmx seats they are nice when on a bmx but imo they dont look right on trials bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
