Just put a www.beadrider.com Ultimate on and all I can say is wow! Great improvement. I already have a C&C seat, but still got pressure points. Went for a short ride and could already feel an inprovement.

Wait until summer. That is when you notice them most. You won't get a sweaty seat. I don't think they are much for looks but man do they work....great product.

Well over 80 degrees today so I got a good idea on the heat factor. Here in a couple months when it is 100 will be the true test.

Bought one last summer and they work great. Wish I would have had it when we went on a ten day ride near the gulf...it was HOT......another thing I like a about the beaded covers versus the cloth versions is if you get caught in the rain you don't sit in a puddled seat...the air flow helps dry you out also.....agreed they don't look great..but when my butt is covering it and I'm not crotch pot cooking I don't really care about "cool".........comfort is now my new cool.

When I do a long haul, i.e. over 500 miles a day, I put a hand towel under the bead rider. It's a definite comfort multiplier.

Hey Eastern.....I will give that a try when I head to Myrtle...unless this weather breaks and I get a chance before then for a decent ride.
