What Seat?
« on: January 19, 2009, 04:25:12 AM »
I just got my first ever flatland bike and whenever i go to do a barspin, i cant pinch the seat to do a barspin without causing alot of pain. I was wondering what the lightest/most comfortable flatland seat out there is. Id rather have comfort than weight, but whatever will work. Thanks!

cause my seats are the most uncomftorble craps ever.

The picture you put up is the same seat I have, I would really like to have a seat with padding on the sides of the seat so that I could pinch the seat hard enough to do a barspin/other tricks. Any ideas???

How long you been doing barspins for? They bunny hop barspins or just wheelie barspins? When I 1st learned wheelie barspins I learned on a huge walmart gel seat. Now I can do them on most anything without too much clamping force (same with my sketchy bunnyhop barspins). Heck, look at some of the street riders doing them with small seats that at slammed down.

I bet with time they wont hurt as much. I had a Odyssey Marcel seat, McNeil OG, and Primo hemmaroid and  liked all of them for barspinnery action.

Im can do the wheelie bar spin with one foot on the pedal and one on the back peg. And I can do the half wheelie bar spin with both feet on the pedals, but i cant grip hard enough on the seat to do the full wheelie bar spin.

Ive a KHE Watanabe and I learned doing barspins with it. I'd say its not worth getting a new seat for a trick that you wont be dealing with for that long. Just learn how to do dork wheelie bar spins, i.e. stand on your rear pegs and lift the bike a little and spin the bar.
  I dont find the Watanabe uncomfortable in the first place though. Not for riding or for tricks.
