Question 1

Why is it so cheap?  What's wrong with it??

Accepted Answer

Nothing as far as I'm concerned. I'm 6'1 and 240lbs. I use this seat on 20 mile rides a couple times a week. I've had it for about a year. I love it. No numbness, no saddle sores, just a nice ride.

Question 2

Will this seat fit on a Xootr Swift?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this seat will fit on the Xootr Swift as long as it is the same seat post top as in this pic:http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AiECT7xHEBQ/Rls4X4F2l_I/AAAAAAAAAhs/C1q-26_bn8M/s1600-h/IMG_2527.jpg

Question 3

Would it by any chance go on a stationary spin bike? I am trying desperately to find a more comfy seat. Thanks

Accepted Answer

I use a seat very much like this one on my Lemond stationary bike.  It should work on any bike that uses a standard seat mounting system, which accepts a seat with two rails.

Question 4

Will this seat fit on a rad power bike, specifically the radcity 4?

Accepted Answer

This seat has mounting rails about 1¾" apart, center-to-center of the rails.  The rails are designed to accommodate a seat clamp with a dual bracket having indentations on each end that will fit above-and-below the rails and clamp onto them when tightened.  This clamps-to-the-rails arrangement allows you to adjust the seat base both forwards and backwards along the rails to accommodate your legs' length comfortably. This is a "standard-style" clamp in terms of its construction, but there is no ONE standard for the rail spacings, although 1¾" is a common spacing.  The clamp which fastens to the rails is designed to mount to a single vertical seat post, and the seat-post mounting must match the clamp base.  If your bike's current seat-mounting arrangement sounds like I've described, the Pro Hub X2 may fit it.  The X2 does NOT come with a clamp...just the rails.  If your current seat post & clamp will fit 1¾"-apart rails (center-to-center), it'll probably handle the X2.
It's important to know the X2 pads are designed both to swivel up-and-down slightly, AND to flex at the nose as your legs make each pedal stroke.  This is part of what reduces pressure on your hip/leg joints, and it works nicely at that, but it takes some getting used to...probably about 30 minutes of riding on it.  Compared to a rigid saddle, the X2 feels "wiggly" at first, but most folk accommodate to that very quickly on the road.
