Heat Molding a Saddle to my Ass / Arse

About Reform Saddles: “We make Reform Saddles at Landyachtz headquarters in Vancouver BC, so we can have tight control over our quality and support our local talent.“ - “We use pressure mapping technology to visualize pressure points on the saddle surface. The illustration shown on our website demonstrates a rider’s hot spots before molding the saddle and a significant reduction after the molding is complete. Resulting in unhindered performance for longer due to improved weight distribution and increased comfort, Reform saddle is changing the game.“ In this video, JOM Of the Gravel Cyclist crew presents a detailed look at a heat moldable saddle by Reform Technologies.

Every Saddle is Custom: “Mike Perreten and Tom Edstrand started making Landyachtz skateboards in a basement in 1997. Through many years of hard work and innovative thinking, Landyachtz has substantially impacted how people skateboard and develop skate products - “ “In 2015 Mike was putting a lot of miles on his road bike. On one occasion he pushed his body to its absolute limit during a race to Whistler, BC. His whole body was suffering but the pain from his saddle was the most significant. It got him thinking about why there have been so many developments in cycling, yet the saddle seemed relatively unchanged. Coming from a competitive ski racing background, Mike experienced the importance of ski boot moulding and the difference comfort can make in performance. The wheels started turning on how to make a mouldable saddle.“ “Like so many things the idea was great but the execution of doing this was extremely challenging. Our team has put over 5 years of development into what you now see in the revolutionary Reform saddle. A saddle moulded for you.“ Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 0:42 About Reform Saddles 1:25 Pressure Mapping Technology 1:56 Seymour Saddle 3:38 Tantalus Saddle 4:31 Lady Gravel Cyclist 4:48 Heat Molding Process 6:24 Closing 6:57 General Madness Links of Interest: Reform Saddle - Gravel Bike Tyre / Tire Pressure Guidelines - Gravel Cyclist’s Route Library - Amazon Affiliation Link: No cost to you, but every purchase made helps keep Gravel Cyclist up and running! - Web: Facebook: Instagram - Twitter -
