If anything, I would lower the seat (assuming it doesn't change the engineering). I sit too high in mine, and I'm only 5'6". You can always add another temperfoam pad if the seat is too low, but you sure can't go the other direction if you raise it!Ditto for me. I wish my seat was a tad lower, so I could have more padding. Speaking of padding, I made a seat that conforms to my personal Butt Print, as well as extending the pad forward a little past the forward edge of the seat to help support under my legs. I found a HUGE difference in comfort, compared to whatI had before. I'm going to re-do the seat to extend even further under my legs, in order to spread out my weight.Chuck G.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2005 21:38:18 -0500
