Tried to make a Seat for the KS18L

[PotatoInside]

What a disaster.... 

 

1) measured the precise angle of the handle on the KS18L its like 23.5°

2) got a yoga block

3) cut yoga block

4) cut the yoga block wrong... FFS

5) bought another yoga block

6) measured some cloth to wrap the block

7) sewed a thing

8) i really suck at sewing.... the machine hasnt been powered in over 7 years

9) it fits so whatever...

10) dont have a continuous piece of velcro so i ghetto'd the 2nd strap

11) just got back from a ride, it.... doesnt work, too wobbly, doesnt stay in place, i cant pick up the wheel anymore, cant trolley, useless invention, DO NOT ATTEMPT

Well you still got A for effort 

I think @Flyboy10 has been quite successful making a seat for his 18XL:

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.

Here is a closer look at the seat I made.

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
