Captain Scarlet Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hmn, well I got my Onza T-Vee today, I'm thinking about removing the seat for short rides and things but I don't want the hole exposed as it will most probably fill up with crap.I have thought about buying a seat pad, but is there any option that I could do that I could find around the house?What have people done in the past besides; having the seat in, exposed, or a seat pad.Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish-Finger-er Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 either that, or nothing beats a bit of pipe lagging. looks ghetto, but its actually useful as a purch for a couple of minutes if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Put a seat in it...What have people done in the past besides; having the seat in, exposed, or a seat pad.I'm having the seat on longer rides, or when there is lots of hills.

Fixed Pants™ Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 I put my cock in mine and it's fine.On a serious note, don't worry about it, if it does get stuff in it it's easily tipped upside down and shook to get it out. It shouldn't have an affect anyway as the seat tube shouldn't really be long enough to touch the bottom.Don't bother with a seat, the gearing is shit enough already so it's not really gonna help, just sit on the frame like i do when crusing down declines.

Ash-Kennard Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 put a sock in it, does it really matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Just put some tape over it. Or some carbon stuff like someone above said.You really wont need to sit down at all, the seats on those things are so low that its impossible to actually pedal sat down anyway, so it wont help with hills at all, and rolling back down, sitting slightly sideways across a top-tub is comfier than a mini seat anyway in my opinion.He could be posting hear because the lack of people in the members section who ride the budget bikes such as t-vees and t-birds, would mean less people there have this problem, so less people would know a solution?Oh yeah, just though, Another good way of plugging them is to cut a bar plug to the curved shape and put that in there. The kinda with an expanding wedge, so its easy to take in and out with a screwdriver, could probably get one for like 50p at your lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianttrials Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 if you can't get a monty seat pad then your next bet is to get a chainstay protector and cut it to fit around your frame, or even cheaper get an old inner tube, cut out a shape to fit round your frame and ziptie it. might be worth a go, hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Hmmn, I like the idea of using an old innertube and cable tying it.Well today I just went to B&Q and bought some black electrical tape for 79p, Just covered it evenly in three strips of tape and looks much better than with a seat.Thanks for the suggestions, you'll probably see what it looks like when I post up some pictures of my bike soon.
