While buying our daily intake of Pinot in Aldi, found this in the bargain bin at £2.29 Looks crap just resting on the seat but when the missus is on the back it makes a difference apparently and she likes it. I have slid the back under the seat.
This is getting more surreal now with random bits stuck on bikes. I'm off to get the new airhawk touring suit which provides all over comfort and despite some early challenges in trials, looks to be a winner
My old man used to say "Any idiot can be uncomfortable". Anyone spending any mileage on a bike would get that, as well as being applicable to life in general. If someone's enjoyment is stroking the lines of the bike on any given Sunday in the garage, then yes any addition beyond aesthetics will detract from that. If riding the bike is someone else's thing, then what does it matter what's under their arse
Bikes are for riding first and foremost. When you are riding you can't see what it looks like anyway especially if its under your arse. I'm going to Misano in September and will certainly be taking an Airhawk with me. Don't want the actual riding to be a chore or uncomfortable. What is the benefit of the Neoprene Airhawk over the standard one? Is the cover the same on both?
Had my Airhawk for a while now and swear by it. Really comfortable, a little dawky looking and works best with the minimum of air. You shouldn't roll backwards and forwards on the seat when accelerating.
This. There should be no more than about 1mm between you and the seat. If you overfill it, it feels a lot like you're in a boat! They're marvelous things, and very cheap compared to a Russel or Corbin seat.
I bought one for my Z1000SX, but never really got comfortable with it. My ar&e was fine, but I felt like I was moving around under acceleration and braking. Subconsciously, my legs were tensing up to try and hold me in place, meaning I ended up with sore knees and cramp instead. Sounds like maybe I still had too much air in it, though it's a bit of a moot point now I've sold the bike.
Too much air is the usual problem, and is the reason for every negative review I've ever read. There is a little bit of movement, but you get used to it very quickly.
