bike seat question...

[deacon]

I need to move my bicycle seat back about two or three inches. It isn't urgent but I would like to do it. So somebody tell me how ones does that without a lot of fuss.

this is the bike

 

[FileStyle]

how about a bmx style lay back seat post!

Deacon, I cut my seat post into three peices. Two 45 degree cuts. I rotated the cuts so it moved the seat back about two inches and then welded it back together. That would be some good practice for your welding machine.......................

Don't do it. Look at where that seat is now. It's almost directly above your rear axle.
You move that seat back enough to go past that rear axle it's a guaranteed wipeout. Your front wheel will go up and over.

 

[deacon]

That has already happened lol.. Cracked my tail bone. I looked at the picture and i think I agree with you. However the old banana seats were all the way back.

 

[Large Filipino]

Ah but where does the sissy bar mount to? The axle! Even a banana seat when sitting all the way back you are still in front of the wheel axle.

 

[deacon]

okay makes sense

Well I can't see the picture because I'm at work...but, do you just need more distance from the handlebars? Might try getting a new stem/bars to move them forward instead of moving the seat back...

 

[deacon]

I think im just going to tilt them forward.

for some reason i jut thought you where older

 

[deacon]

I am older lol I borrowed a neighbor kid for scale. It is a tiny bike.

you should get a kick a$$ banana seat, sissy bar and tip the handlebars. If you got the sissy bar you wouldn't slide off the seat again.

Wow Deacon, You get a haircut? And you shaved too. I'm with LF. Don't move that seat back, Not on that frame. Custom Old School Chopper Bicycles, Parts, Accessories and Apparel may help with a longer goose neck.

 

[deacon]

okay no seat movement. If it stops raining I'll give adjusting the handle bars some experimenting.
