Any way of adjusting the seat height in a FD (for short-asses) ? I know the standard seat doesn\'t have any, but can it be modded?
tks

Hi and Welcome.

As l only have short legs l raised my seat by useing longer bolts and large diamiter nuts as spacers to raise the seat around 15mm .

Hope this helps

Should have explained better!, it\'s just the back of the seat that l have raised by putting the spacers under the back half of the seat runners.

Clive, tried it but those nuts are as tight as hell. Even with WD40 they won\'t budge. How did you get them out?
cheers
