don't bother with mtb seats

bmx seats are much better looking

 

 

There is actually a difference I think..

 

BMX seats are just much smaller in general. Look cooler with patterns etc' date=' but uncomfortable..

 

Then you can get DJ seats like a Chucker seat.. A bit wider than a bmx seat and has grips underneath, both for doing seatgrabs and stuff..

 

Then you get DH seats which are much longer and thinner so that you use it between your legs to manouvre the bike.. And they also have a bit more room for adjustability..

obviously you get different versions.

you  get pivitol seats which don't have rails.

you get the big puffy seats

and you get the slim sleek ones.

 

there aren't much differences

a seat is a seat

obviously you get ones that look different

even in bmx you get big ones and little ones.

 

i am just stating that they are much better looking.

and you will be able to find one to suit your needs.

 

i suggest the Fit Bike Co. ECCD.

slim and good looking

Went to go and help mark the new Gauteng DH course this morning and its going to be sweet.

 

Basic details:

 

-  About a 3min winning time (Maybe more)

-  Very rocky in places but overall will have flow

-  Most of the track is in place (walking path)

-  Should be compelete by the end of Dec

-  Starts at the top of Krugersdorp hill and ends next to the Casino

 

I

we have 65 active racers!  and with Mankele and this course things are

only going to get hotter.  Big up Francois and the other guys.

thanks for the headsup Macros. some pics would be ace! Frankly, we should do more besides pics. We have quite a few cycling sites that i'm pretty sure wont mind hosting a vid of a proper track walk. NSRMTB comes to mind

it's made for a bike where you mount a rack onto the back of your bike for carrying. It screws onto those weird extensions. How un-DH of me. But i'm getting a kick-ass FULL SERVICE from action cycling. They're taking everything apart. Wooh. And they're putting a new seat clamp on

glad u took it to AC. they gonna give you great service. Marco, Mark and Dev know how to set a bike up (not dissing the other shops out there. Just giving props where due )

 

 

 

also, let them help you set the sag up correctly at the shop before you take the bike. You will of course have to be present.
