Do any of you lovely peeps know where in the uk I can obtain a bead seat cover as the ones from the states p&p is more than  the cost of the cover .
Cheers

Quite a few over there bought car ones and trimmed them to fit.
All you need is some strong fishing line and some strap material.

maybe there's a business opportunity here as it does seem that there is no obvious U.K supplier

I got a car one cut it in half and fitted some elastic so it went under the seat and held it in place , it felt OK to sit on and was cooler on a hot day as you can feel the air flow under your butt, but I did not feel is was any more comfertable on a long run than the standard seat , , :biker3:

I had a Beadrider and it was excellent, I think I sold it to Zedmeister and he possibly has more than one.

I did the same, ran the perimeter with grass trimmer (weed eater) line to hold the shape and place a cloth under it to ease the wear on the seat.
