i dont think they come in 30.9 do they? i think their bmx specific meaning only 25.4 and a few other sizes but not that big
i stand corrected sorry i hadnt seen that until i just looked it up
Awesome stuff. Had mine since they came out. Very light. Haven't had many bad crashes or hard landings, so haven't really tested out the durability yet. Even the capital seat (their biggest one) is fairly small, so keep that in mind if you want something more normal sized. Way cheaper than a Thompson post + race seat, and more comfy and about the same weight. Two thumbs up!Jmight.. said:
Thanks Bulldog, what size do you have and what is the length? I currently have a jump seat on my P1 and that looks to be the same size so thats not a problem but yeah lighter, cheaper and you know it works well since its made for 20"s so I'm all about this..

I found it was too small. And that was the biggest seat. I also found that their was very little give in the seat and as such was bloody hard on my arse.
A mate has also bent the **** out of one.
WTB or SDG for me.

I went through the same delima, and decided to get a Mosh digital seat instead. Its comfy, its a good size, and super light.
I like the Macneil concept, but I don't like any of the seats. The one in the middle is probably the best, I'm not a huge fan of the biggest one. All of them are too small for my likings.
If they come out with a different style seat, I may give it a go.
good luck.

I have it in 27.2 size, the 25.4 seatpost is short the rest of them are XC long...I like Bulldog have the capital seat and it is small and firm not the most comfortable seat in the world but it is on my bike where I stand 90% of the time..
the capital sucks. it's got edges in the padding it's weird, the OG is great if you beat the piss out of your seat and chronically tear the cover from the base. the smallness is definitely in effect with macneil though. i'm going to get an SL in 27.2
hmm It doesn't look the Capitol seat is that much (if any) samller then the stock seat that comes on the P.1 but I don't spend that much time in the saddle so its ok. I'm gonna try to find some width/legth on then and if it really is that small i'll just get the SL
the SL isn't exactly big. if you are rough on seats i would suggest either the Capital or OG regardless as the SL has been known to break off at the nose.
SL finally arrived = very good! more extensive report after some time on it!
