Lumbar Support

[atr62]

Hi again!

The T50 seat is killing my back! Has anyone come up with a remedy for lumbar support? I’m used to the Rans XP seat which has 6 adjustable straps.

All the best,

Try putting some adhesive backed 1cm thick foam pads in the proper areas. I have had 2 layers of it (2cm total) for my lumbar support for about 3 years so far and love it.

I added some yoga mat under the lower 2/3 of the V20c stock pad. I needed more cushion in the tailbone area.

I formed a nice lumbar piece from a 1" thick "garden kneeling pad". I tapered both ends to a point and made it fit my back perfeclty.
I attached velcrow to it and that way I can position it were I want it and move it around if needed. This also helps me from sliding around in the seat when appling max power.

Exercise mat worked well for me.

The seat goes great with an Emiljay mod.

My T50 Emeljay Mod

This weekend I finished my Emeljay mod for my T50 commuter. I did this mod not for aero performance, but I wanted a more adjustable seat to handle bar relationship, the way it was I had to buy new stems every time I wanted to try a new seat angle or handle bar position. The over all impression...

Not sure what an "Emiljay mod" is, so I'll need to look into that too.
