hey, what are your guys oppinions on pivotal seats and rails, like what kind do you prefer and why. i personaly prefer rails, i'm really picky about the position of the seat for grabbing with my knees and stuff. i like the ease of youse and clean-ness of the pivotal, but rails for meBig Grin

Pivotal, for the simplicity, the looks, and the slammability. I like the no-clamp mods you can do with them.

Pivotal for sure. Lower, lighter and simple.

hehe...hehe

i like rails, and the fact that there is a ton more seats and shapes to choose from, like all the pivotals are the same shape, but there are a ton different rail seats.

I'm all for pivotals. At first I wasn't too into them because Macneil was the only company making them and there weren't that many models or designs. But now most companies are making pivotal seats and posts. You just can't go wrong with a pivotal seat set up because they are lighter, more simple, easy to adjust, and look really good.

Rails when im on a budget, Id like a pivotal but i am not dishing out like 50 for a set, jsut to save 3 ounces. I hate seeing these kids that have an "upgrade lsit" for their new stock bikes, and like the forst one is a new Pivitol and Seat combo. Such a waste, granted it looks better and you might save a top of 3 ounces but who are you kidding. It's a seat you barely use it as it is. Drop the whole fashion statement your trying to make of your bike and ride everything on it untill it breaks.

i found the set up very cheap, was about 70 for me, versus the 140 I prolly woulda had to spend on a mid range seat and post.

i broke my railled seat the other day my shorts got couaght while i sat down then when i stood up it ripped the rails right out of the plastic, so today i when and got a kink pivitol seat and a kink pivitol seat post for 65 dollars. i think pivitol is better because there is no rails that can get ripped out.
