seat technology

i think someone should invent a foam handle that can stick on the bottom
side of a seat. whenever i do seat out jumps, i get blisters, even with
gloves (i use a miyata airseat). so, this new product would be some
kind of ergonomic (no, i dont know the correct spelling) foam padding
with some kind of adhesive that could stick to the bottom-side corner of
the seat. has it been invented? does anyone else have problems with
blisters and seat out hopping?

Have you done the slit tube + duck tape thing? It works well even for
Miyata non-air seats.

Vinyl tubing on the underside edge of the seat will make it much more
comfortable when holding the seat for seat out jumping. Get some small
diameter vinyl tubing (such as that used for refrigerator ice makers),
cut in lengthwise and tape it over the edge of the seatbase. I have
pictures in my 'air seat gallery'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/Airseat) showing what the vinyl
tubing fix looks like on a carbon fiber air seat. If you don't like the
vinyl tubing you can use other material to round off the underside edge
of the seat. Many layers of hockey tape would work.

Great idea! That's what this forum is all about! I'm just this week
putting together a new CF seat and working on my seat-out hopping and
noticed the same problem. Perfect timing. Thanks, Dave and John.

The vinyl tubing idea wasn't originally mine. Kris Holm first told me
of that little trick.
