But I dislike spending $$$ on a new seat when it's not the seat that's the problem, it's the height...as in mine. I have a kneeling pad--fairly firm foam--that's about 2" thick and I set that on my seat, then bought a $20 mc seat pad that has straps that go under the seat and gives another 3/4 inch of thickness. When the seat straps are tightened down (they go under the seat) it holds the kneeling pad in place. Overall, it gives me about 2.5" higher ride, and makes long distances do-able--I rode OR-to midwest and back and the increased leg room saved my hips and knees. The only drawback was that it pushed my legs out a little wider than normal, but once I got used to that, no problem. Ok, visually, it's not perfect, but if people are looking that close while I'm riding...then they've got other issues.
