...like I'm sitting straight up. I found that I don't need my head rest at all, even on long rides. 2. I don't experience the same level of recumbutt that I did with the stock seat. This was the primary driver for the Thor seat. I think it'll work out well for my long tours. 3. Sitting...

Do you think that the Thor headrest could mount to the back side of the stock Q45 seat, or would it end up at the wrong height or angle? Looking at the pictures, I assume that I'd have to drill some mounting holes, which is about the outer limit of my fabricating abilities! Thanks @woodguy

...the Thor seat. You can search this forum for all kinds of posts about the "Thor". I got it about a year after I bought my Q45 to reduce recumbutt on long rides. I love both the seat and the headrest. You can read more about why I switched if you search on this forum for "Q45 across...

...It seems most long distance riders prefer the V20 with the S40 (and its predecessors) up next. The S40’s more upright stance gives more recumbutt on longer rides, but could be easier to learn and to look around. The Q45 has been used for long trips as well. See this report...

...even knew I had! :) Now, after 2400km, I don't even think about it, in my opinion it's easier then riding the DF without hands. About recumbutt, the only time I had the chance to go on a longer ride is when I rode 211km in one day at the beginning of march. The issue comes after 3 hours of...

...I have the 38 tooth back on now that I'm home. After doing an 800 mile ride in a week with Biking Across Kansas in 2018, I did have some recumbutt with the stock seat. I decided to get the Thor with the headrest, and I don't regret it one bit. Mine is set at about 35 degrees and since the...

Information is power.. Thank you @Black Hawk Down for giving us a few more Watts!

...have to purchase the curved slider for both bikes to make room for my fat gut, but that worked well. I also confess that the S40 causes 'recumbutt' if I go longer than 30 miles or so. I don't see that with the V20. In fact, over a 3 year period, I've lost and gained 50 lbs while...

S40 recumbutt is worse on the trainer but I only experience it in a significant way on long and very hard road rides. On the Bike Sebring century I had no problems. Maybe I didn’t ride hard enough?

For me, recumbutt is simply a mild muscle pain in the glutes while riding that happens because I am sitting on muscles, or supporting my weight with muscles, while also using them. It goes away when I get off the bike. But seat recline also plays a factor. I have zero recumbutt while on my...

...the sit bones are seized up tight. I can hardly bend over at all. Is this recumbent? When I first started riding Cruzbikes I thought recumbutt was just that tingly soreness that showed up immediately from sitting in a previously unknown manner, using muscles that are not used to being...

...considered, and it was all about comfort for me. I had 2 other recumbents before my Q45 & they were good, but longer rides introduced some recumbutt. I’ve never had the shoulder pain you refer to on a recumbent. I started with the stock Q45 seat, which was good, but when doing Biking...

...shoulders, back and everything else feel fabulous compared to the best day on any of my DFs. After the century mark I start to feel the recumbutt settle in but that would probably be the case for my living room couch also. The only improvement would be to go to a V20 that distributes weight...

...seat, but I can guarantee you won't have the same problems as on a DF bike. It's a whole different world. However, I had seat discomfort (recumbutt) from the stock Q45 seat on long rides and ended up buying a Thor seat ... Yeah, pricey, but it turned out to be well worth it. My advice is...

...tires, fenders, rack brazons are great, and it has lower gears than the V. I don't mind going a little slower with the S40. I do get "recumbutt" with the S40, but I think that will diminish as I lose weight on the tour. 1/22/2021 Edit. I no longer believe the V20 can be used for touring...

Yeah, I agree. I had another rider (a friend) ride an entire 400K about two minutes in front of me. I'd get to a control and he'd be there, he'd leave about 2 minutes before I did. That happened at every control. I even said "we're obviously riding the same speed, hang on a couple of minutes and...

...an upright and my derriere was totally fine, thanks to B17, Assos T-Cento, Lantiseptic, good fit, and lots of miles. If you find you get recumbutt, look into a Thor seat. They are only about $200 and might be the best investment possible for a bent. Selectively adding bits of yoga mat in...

...rest against it especially when climbing hills or coming up to intersections where I want to see better what is coming. My problem with the stock seat was getting some recumbutt pain on a long day because so much weight was on my butt. The shape & angle of the Thor pretty much eliminated that.

...Only thing that somewhat changes that that is 'reverse pedalling (though mostly about quads), but that is entire can of worms entirely. I feel I should go with 'upright seat/low bb/reverse pedalling/partial fairing', just need to get me a seat that does not cause recumbutt with upright angle.
