Review on Cloud 9 Cruiser Select Saddle 10 75 by Hikeboy Ramey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

GOOD FIT BUT MAY NEED MORE FRONT PADDING. WIDE SEAT GUIDE PROBLEM SOLVED

A GOOD PRICE SEAT MAY NOT BE AS SOFT AND SUPPORTIVE AS YOU KNOW, BUT BETTER THAN A REPLACEMENT SEAT. AS OTHERS HAVE INDICATED, THE SEAT RAILS ARE FURTHER THAN THEY NEED TO BE TO INSTALL THE LAYOUT STYLE CLAMP ON THE SEAT TUBE. This seems to be the problem with most Cloud 9 saddles. The best way to solve this problem that I found was: remove the pipe clamp that came with the seat, then install the sinks on the sink and pull Gently pull the seat down firmly, but do not overtighten. THIS SHOULD WIDE THE GROOVES IN THE MANIFOLD SLIGHTLY. NEXT, LOOSEN THE CLAMP AND REMOVE THE SEAT. HOLD THE SEAT TUBE CLAMP THAT SUPPLIED WITH THE SEAT AGAIN TO THE RAILS AND THEN TIGHTEN IT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AT THE FRONT AND THEN BEHIND THE RAIL (USE A 3/8 OR BETTER 1/2" INCH KEY WITH A FRACTIONAL TYPE FOR BEST CUTTING). THIS ADJUSTS THE GUIDES ENOUGH TO APPROACH THE LAYOUT STYLE SEATPOST CLAMP. REMOVE THE INCLUDED BOOT CLAMP AND REINSTALLE THE GUIDES ON THE LAYOUT STYLE SHOE CLAMP. IF NOT INSTALLED, REPLACE THE SUPPLIED SEAT TUBE CLAMP ON THE SEAT RAILS. BE CAREFUL NOT TO CONNECT RAILS TOO TIGHT. USE THE TOP PAGE AS A TEMPLATE. FOUND THIS AT ME AND COULD GET IT BEFORE SEAT RETURN. MUCH LUCK.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
