Yes, an air seat is suitable for all riding types on a Coker. For trials an
air-seat may be less suitable but I doubt anyone is doing anything close to
trials on a Coker.

Mounting has been equally difficult (easy?) regardless of the seat I’ve
used.

I just bought a modified Myata airseat for my Coker and it does seem more difficult to mount. It might be in my head, because the seat does appear to be higher, which leads to my next question. I thought I knew how to set the seat height, but now am not so sure. At a standstill, the new seat feels ok, knee slightly bent at the longest point, but while riding, it feels way too tall. Should I drop the seat? That means cutting the post yet again, which is not a problem unless I want to use the seat/post on my 24". Should the seat high be lower on the Coker? I’m a relative newbie so I’ll probably feel more comfortable as time goes on. Also, how much pressure do all use in the seat? It felt too light, so I pumped it up, but now after riding, it does put quite a bit of pressure on the lower ball bearings, so to speak.

Thank you very much for this info and for your kind offer to build this (see separate
message for details).

Close to trials on a Coker,
i cant remember who but some dude awile back produced photo’s of himself stair hopping on the Big one.(the pictures came after much ribbing)
Air seats are cool,i made mine with just the air bladder and no foam.some people like to use foam too.my air seat was one of the few things that i liked on the Coker.

Thanks, Neil. The shot by the Ferris wheel is particularly appropriate.

In road I use very little pressure in the saddle. In off-road I use
more pressure. I have added a strap very tight around the saddle below
the “lower ball bearings”.
