X-Trainer Seat height ?

Postby Yorick » Wed Mar 04, 2020 12:10 pm

I'm having trouble selling my X-Trainer. So I'm thinking of keeping it for the missus when she passed her test this year. It'll be a great bike for her as she's not a speed freak and the suspension will be OK as she's a lot lighter than me.

But, she is vertically challenged and the seat is too high. I know you can buy a lower seat, but that only drops it by about 10mm.

Are there any other ways to lower the seat height. Maybe wind out the pre-load on the shock ?


Fire way and thanks in advance :)

Is it easy to install? What does it consist of ?

Any idea of price?

Thanks

I lowered mine is using a Koubalink

You need to raise the front forks in the triples by the same amount, so as to maintain the geometry.

I also put a Seat Concepts low on.

I have a Seat Concepts 1" lower seat for an XT. It's only been used about 20 hours before I upgraded to a 300 RR/RE.

You can call me @ 760-485-1041 :D
