This morning, I took a ride over to Seat Concepts.
One complaint that I have had with the Super Tenere (honestly, I believe my only complaint) has been that the seat is not comfortable for me. After 40-50 miles, the seat is uncomfortable. Partially, it is the downward slope of the seat, and partially it's just the foam that it's made of, I suppose.
I inquired with Seat Concepts, since they're only 50 miles away from me. I was told that they have a ride-in price of $150, installed. I figured that it's a small enough amount of money that it's worth trying out.
I was very impressed with the employees there, as well as the size of the facility. I saw about ten employees, and their building is somewhere around 10,000 square feet, I'd estimate. I was told that they do 1,500 seats per month. Well above the number of seats I would have guessed!!
On my ride there, I rode "the long way," and rode 70 miles. On the way home, I rode "the even longer way," and rode 140 miles. The seat is a significant improvement. It wasn't a 10 out of 10 for comfort on the ride home, but I didn't expect it to be. It is a very solid 8 out of 10 for comfort though, and was never uncomfortable. I was aware the seat was there, but it was never a bother.
For those on the fence with a seat mod, I'd suggest taking a look at Seat Concepts.
