  1. i was thinking about rapping my seat in bubble wrap before a ride on my
    sun, because the seat is horrible. Has anyone tried this yet? i know
    it would pop after a while but im gonna try this out.

  3. I think James (potter) did it once, he said it was comfortable but only
    for a while till the wrap ran out.

    P.S it doesnt seem like that bad of an idea because if they popped you
    could bring some more on long trip...

  4. Sounds like a good idea. I've been using an innertube wrapped around
    the seat on my Sun, the trick is to hold it together under the seat
    with tie wire.

    Anyhow, let us know how your bubble wrap works out.

    I'm definitely looking to get a more comfortable seat.

  11. Hmmm. Last year the tube in my old airseat failed twice in as many days,
    and I didn't have any more small tubes and didn't feel like patching,
    so I stuffed the entire thing with bubble wrap as an experiment. It was
    the kind with the small bubbles. I think the bubbles kind of deflated,
    rather than popped, as I rode. The bubble wrap would gradually lose
    volume until I had to add more, and as time went by the seat became
    more and more full of hard, flattened bubble wrap and less and less
    comfortable. It was OK as a stopgap but didn't work very well for very
    long. I had one of those Sem Deluxe saddles with the rubber cover, easy
    to do stuff like that with, but hard to keep in place properly. I ride
    a Velo now.

    I think that bubble wrap on the outside of the seat would fail pretty
    quickly.
