Maybe, but at 230 lb + there's a lot of downward pressure that is more
of a contributer than anything else. I have to differ on with you on
the quality of the seat though.
When riding a Coker that's been outfitted with a trials seat I'm ready
to quit at about 6. That seat feels like a piece of plywood with some
felt glued to it. The KH saddle on my Onza is ultra firm with almost
no cushion to it. The MUni that Kenny built had a KH style seat that
was very cushy in comparison but I don't know how it would feel after
several miles.
You mentioned technique and seating position being possible
contributors to low mileage pain. What should one check for? My legs
feel fine when I have to stop. It's just that I feel like I've been
straddling a barge tow rope for 3 hours when it begins to start sawing
back and forth. What could cause this?
