I want to put my Feet  flat on the ground with my TR1 and I'm a 178 cm so I need to lower it so is it better to cut down the seat go expensive with suspension or does anyone have any other ideas ( its now 10mm down in the triple trees )
cheers

Hi,

in most cases it's not necessary to cut down the whole seat but to cut the seat's flanks / sides. As soon as the seat is not that broad anymore, You will reach the ground with Your feet. This works. But You should only cut the front part and not the part where You sit on. You might need this for Your ass.

Cheers,

Stefan , who sometimes lowers bikes for friends, and never his own, since he is 1,97 m tall.

thanks i'll see if i can dig up an old seat and have a play
