Black Hawk Down

Senior Rookie
I am about 175 pounds (80kgs). I regularly ride my S40 over the weekend (80 kms and 100kms over sat and sun respectively) with stock seat.
Never had a recumbutt problem. So is this issue only with heavy riders or will it happen with me as well at some point in time?
And mind you - those rides are 1 break (for tea for about 10 minutes) ride.
To my knowledge, it's a weight and angle problem. If you are not having any problems now, you probaby won't have any in the future unless you gain weight or exchange your seat for one that raises the angle. I have many years of experience with recumbutt but most of those probems happened when I was 220 lbs or greater. I fixed the problem completely but using a Thor Carrier seat on my S40, but jury rigged it to lay back to about a 30 degree angle. I'm now about 185 lbs and headding down, but I don't plan to change the angle to stock as I really like it laying back 3 degrees.
