I agree there, Im sure an airhawk will do wonders I had one on my Alp and it made doing JoG to LE 860 ish miles in one day very bearable, but they are a faff and get nicked also and then there is the extortionate price of them !! A fair chunk of money that could make the seat nicer without the need for it .
I looked on the link to the thread and first poster with a beige Ten has a very nice looking seat but it just the height it takes it to. Im a comfy 31/32" inside leg and taking it to 37" is just crazy... not for roads but the minute you go off road and ride next to a rut immediatly it can become 40.. 45 inch to foot down, which by that time bikes over and on top of you, coming off rock steps will be even more daunting !! Im no off road god, but Im no beginner either and not bothered about where I really try to get a bike and prepared to have a go at most terrain. On page 2 shows a nice white Ten with what looks to be best compromise.
I see also lowering links for little money and wonder if these are also a likely compromise as I dont think Im looking for enduro levels of clearance
