    Freerider seat cushion

    Ventisit is a onepiece , so it replaces both pads. You should e-mail them and explain you have an older Sofrider/Freerider. The website looks like it only has S40 and V20 sizes.

    Need more items added to this list I stole from Day6

    Gotta agree with #11 and #13 giving up the curb hop means I had to give up riding on sidewalks and live in fear of street potholes and drain grates. At my most obese 285# I got kmart hy-bred and tried to hop a curb like my 14 -16 year self did. Lucky all I got was a bent wheel and bruises...

    Mystery Sofrider

    You might want to do a forum search as this WAS a common question. I think you just need a bottom pull clamp on derailleur. 31.8 ???? you will need to measure your tube. Later sofriders have a pulley closer to the pedals to reverse the cable pull. I doubt you have that mounting hole.

    Riding with a rear deraileur stuck in 1 speed

    Hindsight makes things SOoooooo easy. I never did this but its such a duh moment. you can't shift but you CAN choose a different cog. 1. remove broken rear derailleur cable. 2. make a knot . and thread thru adjuster leaving you with 3-4 inches of non moving cable. 3. move derailleur by hand to...

    Want to buy - Seat pads for Quest 451

    I tried a lot of combinations , not just the seat back , to find my best position. no arm pulling for me. Gotta, say a few degrees of adjustment somewhere could make a bigger impact (lol ) than a cushion. Then again I ride with Ventisit.
