...most comfortable and the upright seating position gives a very good line of sight and is incredibly relaxing. . I still get a little recumbutt as expected as I’m used to 20 degrees recline predominantly. I’m riding it with marathon plus tyres. I’ve fitted an axa hr dynamo to the rear. New...

...and df friends of the polite nice variety. hey slim I’m seriously enjoying riding the sofrider 3. It’s very comfy. It’s heavy and I do with max recline get recumbutt. I’m thinking of a carbon fibre seat. Have you done any mod like this to your sofrider. Apart from the twin shocks of course. ;)

...I might try moving the whole boom back to put my butt back in the seat more and bend my arms a bit. It seems to work better and I get less recumbutt over distance as well. It helps too that I moved my shoe clips back a little. I have improvised an adjustable headrest but it looks too homemade...

Thor Seats and Volae seats are carbon seats shaped to fit most riders. The curved bottom end may help reduce recumbutt a little bit by distributing your weight more evenly. Tilting back can help some by getting more weight off the buttocks. This will only go so far as compressed gluteal muscles...

I sympathize with you. I can ease my recumbutt by intermittently lifting my butt using the pedals for support. Kind of like standing for a while when I used to ride a DF. I think that may be adequate for you. I know others like to tour with the more upright S40 and Q45. Personally I’m thinking...

I was desperately trying to find a solution to my recumbutt and hip pain. I have failed. I plan to tour with the medium seat with two Ventist pads and live with the recumbutt. I'm not happy about it but I ran out of things to try. I think the optimum touring bike would be an S20. Basically...

...at the front edge of the Easy Seat but it is fine. Have done centuries in more comfort than I ever experienced on a DF. If I hammer hard on a ride more than 50 miles I do experience some recumbutt. Have wanted to take the Thor Sport Seat off my V to try it on the S but haven’t gotten to that yet.

FYI, the large GS Easy seat was, in fact, too large. The bend for the lumbar support lands in the middle of my back. Very uncomfortable. I tried innumerable cushion iterations with no success. Had to go back to the medium GS Easy and work on my hip problem. I'm using it with the Ventist...

I hope you got the ventisit cushion with the Thor seat, too? That made a difference for me.

...I can ride continuously for a year. For now, I have another order in to Thor for a LARGE GS Easy seat. The Thor seat did solve my recumbutt but I had a back/hip pain issue. The medium seats do feel too small for me. I'm hoping that with the large seat and some combination of cushions, I...

I had the same problem with Recumbutt on my S40 & too uncomfortable to ride any distance. Tried many different cushions & added the next size on my chain stay. Liked having my feet higher from the chain stay but still had the recumbutt issues. Ordered the same manufacture (Volae) seat cushion...

...were other issues... After trying many iterations and combinations of panniers/trailer, I gave up. I'm now back to looking for a solution for the recumbutt/back and hip pain on the S40. If I can't figure it out soon, I'll have to buy a different recumbent and give up on touring with a...

I put the longer chainstay on my S40 & seems to be more comfortable that way. The way mine is now set up, no more recumbutt & not sliding out of the seat.

...all my stock seat cushions on my Cruzbike’s S40, Vendetta & Silvio S2 with different cushions. The S40 with the upright seat was giving me recumbutt & tried several different cushions (6) to correct this. Ended up with a Volae cushion (bought from Recumbent Classified) that is basically the...

...for America by Bicycle’s Ride The West in September. There will be long climbs, so lower gearing will be appreciated and I’ve been getting recumbutt with the S40. I think the V20 makes an excellent tourer with the laid-back position taking up more weight and lower wind resistance. I rode mine...

Before switching to the Thor seat, and the reason for switching was, I had serious recumbutt and lower back pain with the stock seat. Also, the show stopper was the seat back was too narrow and caused pain in my shoulder blades. The Thor seat is wider at the shoulders and has a larger seat pan...

Black Hawk Down do you feel by riding the S40 has improved your performance on the V20

...it. I also got a Sunrace 11 speed Cassette (CSMX8 11-46) to try for steeper climbs and it fits beautifully! The Shoes, cleats, Hotfoot, Recumbutt, fit issues and performance First, a little disclaimer this issues were there even before the S40. I had battled them on my homemade for a...

The jury is still out on the Thor seat for recumbutt. Will know more over the next month or so. I am able to ride 70 miles in a day, 3 days in a row, without concerning pain in the butt but I may be overlooking it due to the back pain I'm experiencing. I expect that to improve with time. I...

I have a problem with recumbutt on my S40 also. Have tried several different seat cushions & also the 19" chain stay to try to eliminate this without much success. Went back to the original seat cushions & added extra padding on the front to lengthen & have a lip to keep me from feeling like I...
