So thought I would review my experience.
I bought the ergo seat standard hight from a UK company and they sent me the +20mm seat by mistake. I took the opportunity to try it out before I returned it.
Initially the +20 seat felt a good bit comfier than the standard seat and it was clear to see the extra height and padding in it. However it totally changed the riding position for me and I just couldn't get used to it. Felt more tilted forward and more pressure on the wrists. (I'm 5'8 and just shy of 13 stone)
Once that was gone and my standard height seat arrived I went for a 4+ hour ride and honestly I am not really that impressed.
The standard height ergo seat does look way better in my opinion, and the riding position remains the same... however I was expecting more comfort and its barely any different to the stock seat. I still had a sore butt at the end of the ride, just maybe not as sore.
Maybe I got a dud but I think im going to wait for another company to come up with something better and send this back.
Any suggestions welcome if someone has tried something else. Seen a few on the web but mostly American companies
