dlaing Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I'll tell you a secret too: 56279[/snapback] Are you teasing us? What is the secret? A raw steak vacuum packed in antiseptic? I tried adding Gel, but it got too hot. I tried sculpting, but the foam got too thin. My options were then to start with a new block of foam, and new vinyl, or to get a Rich Maund or a Corbin. I went with the Corbin, which is much better on the butt than stock, but it slopes down too much and transmits more vibration. I might try some sheep with a foam ramp to keep me from sliding forward. I also tried tilting the rear subframe back about 1mm, (boring the mount poin with a dremel) but that did not noticeably help the seat angle. So what is the secret? Neoprene, latex foam, Tempurpedic® foam, urethane foam? Gel? A white seat would be butt ugly, but would stay cooler in the sun. I might consider gel, if I went with a brighter cover....maybe red or silver??? The black vinyl actually got harder from getting cooked by the heat of the gel. I think Rich Maund insulates his gel with a layer of foam. EDIT I took to long to post. Yah, what Ratchet and SoloNH said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
