Kens Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Well you still got A for effort I think @Flyboy10 has been quite successful making a seat for his 18XL: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyboyEUC Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I've been thinking of trying out Marty's recent seat mods. But I'm still trying to figure out how to deal with the angle. I also did 25 miles seated the whole time before my butt got numb. I can do a better detailed video for you later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PotatoInside Posted July 17, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Okay Mk II 1) god damn it i had these laying around for over 10 years, didnt have to buy 2 yoga blocks, ended up using only 1.5 squares. Funny thing is, i never thought to built a seat in layers, and i just bought a 3d printer 2 weeks ago, it should of clicked in. 2) cut them to pieces 3) Test fit 4) glued them together, used 3M Super 77 5) used the power of $5 clamps 6) Sewed a thing again 7) broke the damn needle on the last line, ill never sew again... took a 20km ride, works, but i think ill just buy an MSuperX 100v with the seat option. i cant go with out the trolley handle Edited July 17, 2019 by PotatoInside 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
