Review on 🚲 Hobson Easyseat II Saddle Bike: Optimal Comfort for Cycling Enthusiasts, Bicycle Gear Must-Have by Rafael Lee

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I'm 6ft 1in, over 200lbs and I love the way it feels and I don't have a knee.

With this seat you will not have knee or leg pain. I had a Schwin flat seat before but it didn't hold up, it fell off multiple times each day. Also, my knee hurt depending on how high or low I sat. After using this place and moving to this one, the feeling was very different. It took me a few days to get used to it, but after that I prefer it to any other seat. I'm giving it minus 2 stars from my original 5 stars because it broke after I bought it 10 months ago. The way it's done I can't just buy another screw from the store to fix it. The screws you see in the side picture of this seat do not work, they are short and just cover the hole, they serve no purpose. Inside there is an eyelet/flange bolt near the center to hold it in the center and then it's threaded on the outside left and right. Each side of the seat has some back-and-forth play, and of course when you pedal, the left and right sides will exert a rotational force on that bolt in opposite directions, eventually causing it to break. It's fine if you can just buy a replacement screw at your local hardware store, but the way they designed it, you can't. I wish there was an alternative to this so I wouldn't have to re-buy it every 9 months, but I have to. This is the only seat that fits me. An interesting note: if I put the right side back there after the break, it stays there when I sit on it, but when I get off it, the bike wobbles or jerks on impact, it falls. So if you break it, you can still get it done in a week while waiting for a replacement.
