  1. Is this possible? I'm thinking about going to the bike store, buying a
    small inner tube and just positioning it on top of the foam of my kris
    holm seat and then duct taping it on. Will this combo of foam and air
    work? Or will it be a complete disaster?

  3. Sweet, I was just discussing this with a friend yesterday... is it
    possible? Practical? Has it been done? Inquiring Minds want to
    know!
    I find the KH seat very comfortable on the trails, but as soon as I
    start riding home from the trails, it starts being annoying...

  4. No, I just plan on duct taping the air tube on top of the seat cover.

  5. The saddle will probably be too high if you duct tape it on top ot the
    cover. The duct tape wont last too long either. After a short time it
    wil start to roll the edges of the tape and the sticky side will be
    exposed causing an extremely uncomfortable rubbing. .I may be wrong
    about this, but i've had tape on my seat before and it doesnt work for a
    long term solution. Give it a try if you like and let us know how it
    works. If memory serves me correct, there has been a thread on this
    before.

  7. I wouldn't use all the foam and an innertube. Do some cutting my friend,
    thin out the foam or get some new stuff and then put it all under a
    cover- it's why they're called covers!

    As for bouncing, try the foam and tube in a different set ups- tube
    sandwiched between foam, tube beneath etc etc and also play around with
    tbe pressures. You don't need much air at all!
