SW Motech and seat problem

[chas820]

Any body got the SW Motech pannier rails? If so did you find it hard to get the seat back on?I was fitting mine yesterday and wondered why the seat was hard to get on and noticed that due to the spacers to lift the new grab rail (for clearance of the removable rails) the seat caught on the frame .It took a real hard push to get it on,have any of you guys come across this.

Yep, I've got SW Motech pannier rails & the seat is tight to fit back on.

Hmm,bit worrying.Ive recently ordered the Motech racks,wish i seen this before
Is there an obvious cure? I do have a range of lumphammers at my disposal

no big thing

I've the SW Motech rails, and find it only takes a bit of a smack to lock the seat- I've had worse!

It's no big thing- I wouldn't worry.

Phew! Cheers Aran,thought I was going to have to break out-
`the judge` and I have the feeling these seats are used to a bit of abuse

likewise, it's not as nice a fit as with the standard rails, but it does go back on without too much hassle, so fret not...
