Got it installed. my first ride with it I had the setback too far forward. I fixed it tonight and will try it out tomorrow on my commute to work. So far so good, though I do wish it would lock into place somehow, I am afraid someone is going to walk off with it.

Have you tried one of these? Firm yet flexible and a lot of fun to clean!

Once, but it had an extremely annoying squeak that I couldn't get to stop.

I'm working on finding a replacement one though.

Mine like this got hard and uncomfortable and was missing when needed. Big issue was when I finally threw it away it took 1/2 of what I owned.
Replaced it with a similar model, same thing only she got 1/2 of 1/2. New model is different, seems to hang on more and is willing to try new positions. I even take it with me when not on the bike. She knows I only have 1/4 left so she is into back support for the right reasons.
