Re: [RC] re: [RC] Ortho-Flex Patriot was "saddle twist" - Don Huston - rides2far@xxxxxxxxOF Patriot has been my main enduro saddle for 8 years now. After several months riding I decided to remove the metal spacers from all 4 points and screwed the panels flush with the tree but not tight, Mine had plastic spacers. I took them all off. At the time I thought it was causing a pressure spot but turned out that it was probably me riding twisted to hold my wet sponge out to the side. I just left them off anyway. I have to keep an eye on the bolt on the left front now because it sometimes backs out. I just check it with a screwdriver when I saddle. Seems like it won't move for a long time, then it will suddenly be sticking up. Tried some sort of lock tight or something but it didn't work. I'm hesitant to glue it since I've had a screw sheer off that was holding my stirrup bracket and they had to get it out of there.
