V2 tailbone pain

[Paul Dalen]

I can feel the back of the seat pan on my V2 seat, and it doesn't feel too good. I tried pulling the
cover off and putting it on front to back, so that the foam would be pulled back, but that didn't
work. Anyone have any good ideas about how to prevent this?

Gardner cut out a horseshoe shape section from the foam padding in the "tailbone" area of the seat
and that resolved tailbone pain for me on my GRR. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem with my V-2 ,the foam is too thin and with the reclined position all you
weight is placed on your tailbone,don't see how cutting away foam in the tailbone area would do
anything but make it worse. I tried adding /removing foam, tightening the mesh back to move my butt
forward, nothing helped. I fianlly installed first a Lightning seat ,then an Organic Engines mesh
and hardshell seat. They all fit the Same mounts as the lightning seat and can be interchanged in
seconds. The O.E. Euro style seat was very good on the V-2 ,[less weight than the RANS seat], fast
and climbs much better. Ben fox much better "Paul Dalen" <[email protected]> wrote in message

If you move your butt 1/4 inch forward off the back of the seatpan, you usually will eliminate the
pain. I have ridden my V2 4,000 miles this year that way, pain free. Bob Milligan V2
