Default i modded my torker lx saddle


i was in some pain in the rear area so i tryed to make a quik fix i
used one of my old nylon book covers and i ripped some cottony stuff
out of an old pillow and attatched it over the existing cover with
safety pins then bolted the handle and bumper back on i want to put a
better handle on it eventualy but i dont know what i can put on it so
if anyone has any ideas let me know

if anyone has any ideas for what to pad it with that will work better
than synthetic cotton plese let me know

There's also a very easy lx seat conversion to do:

You could use an air and gel combo, just air, or just gel.

But if that cover you have now works good enough and you just want to
save time you can put gel in. If it's tight enough you shouldn't have
to superglue the gel.

That looks nice and comphy. The only thing you might want to change is
the safety pins on the underside of the saddle. If one came undone
while doing som SIF you could stab yourself. I think if you used some
grommits in the fabric and attach them with a shoelace, like the Fusion
cover, that would work better. The cover is perdy too.
