3.0 out of 5 stars Designed for the broad of beam. Not very comfortable., October 15, 2006

This review is from: Bell GelTech Ultimate Comfort Bicycle Seat (Sports)
One of the metal springs broke in my bicycle seat so I bought the Bell GelTech as a replacement. I wasn't impressed.
* It's a very wide seat and quite short front to back. This apparently is the design for a larger, ahem, bottom. I'm an average sized guy and mine didn't fit very well.
* The seat feels great when you push your fingers in it. The gel feels nice and squishy. But...when you sit on it the comfort evaporates. After riding 6 miles on this seat it felt like I was sitting on a concrete slab with a little padding on it. I didn't think it was comfortable at all.
* Turn the seat over and you can see what looks like two large springs, one on each side. This would be great to cushion bumps. Unfortunately, they just "look" like springs. They're rubber disks and, yes, they do compress over bumps but they're nothing at all like springs. And you can really feel the bumps.
* Finally, the seat looks like it belongs on a circus bicycle. It's garish and ugly and people... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless after two months when gell pads split open, December 4, 2007

This review is from: Bell GelTech Ultimate Comfort Bicycle Seat (Sports)
I bought two of these for a tandem bike. There were comfortable enough. But after a couple months the gel pads on one of the seats split open at one of the seams. Within a couple more months both pads on both seats peeled open.

The gooey gel is exposed and now I can't ride the bike at all until I replace these worthless seats. Big waste of money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pads rupture and comfort gel dribbles onto floor!, January 30, 2007
This review is from: Bell GelTech Ultimate Comfort Bicycle Seat (Sports)
Attached this seat to a Home exercycle. We give it light to moderate use. Within 2 months one gel capsule sprung a tear, which widened and began to spill gel out on the floor. I thought this was just an unlucky anomaly, until at four months the other gel pad opened at the rear seam, widened to a 3 inch gap, and also began spilling the sticky gel onto the floor. We are not heavyweight people! The gel pad system on this Ultimate comfort seat is faulty.
