One was a better seat (read wider, firmer and more support) and the other would be a slightly higher screen (still working on that). I did investigate having my seat altered but the good ones were even more than a TT seat!
Hi jacq i now have 3 options the concept, a ttec seat or a gel conversion from the bike shop, doing my own upholstering is a real mine field for foam choice after visiting a local foam supplier, the gel option is the cheapest at around �100 but i would prefer the tt its just the price!!!
Is the hump in the tt seat in the same position as standard ? I would prefer it further back. I have the skid marks high screen it is better but not much, the clip on wind deflector options are supposed to work but the tt option which seems to be the best is again ridiculously priced I may end up making my own.
