im trying to take over the forum with trials :p :p :p

i am sick of my seat and wanna make a little cap/seat to put over the seat tube for when i go out trials riding, do any of you guys know what could be a good idea, its just a little thing so i dont end up having a tube go up my ass if i land to hard

Duct tape, Foam and Zipties.

Get a bit of foam, wrap duct tape around it, then zip-tie it to the frame...

yes okay, both cheap ideas, but i want something that i can put onto a piece of seat post so that i can take it off when i go street or park riding and attach my seat, i have been thinking about it for ages but still cant think of any good ideas

Why not just get a small seat? This is a picture of my old Trials bike with the Monty Trials seat, $20 from www.monty.com.au

All you have to do is 'shave' some plastic where the seat post sticks in, so instead of using a seattube...the seat fits 'inside' the frame seat tube (if that makes any sense)

just slam the seat to the very bottom it shouldnt get in your way, if anything your wheel should get in the way first

yeah i know, its a personal joke between us:p (the thats gold thing)

trust me, the seat pisses me off quite a bit and its because of the seat post mechanism thing, i just want a little tiny something instead of a beefy seat post and seat,

im gonna go to the hardware stori this weekend and have a look at what there is there, or maybe i can just buy a trials seat from a LBS
