TC BROS air ride seat kit

[DEMON DAVE]

this looks like a hot set up single or duel bags , anyone running this kit? I think a suspension seat on a hard tail would be a good set up for long rides, thoughts?

I made my own for about $80

My brackets are very similar to theirs.

It does make the hardtail ride smooth, i really like it.

you can see in this pic

More info on the DIY kit......por favor

I basically just tried to mimic the brackets on the tcbros site and got the Goodyear air bags off eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/110838932302

Got some Schraeder valves from the hardware store and the thing rides great.

Honestly I could ride this thing a long way, my ass just falls asleep because of the smallish solo seat

I had one on my dirty dog bike loved it. I used a duel wheel ext. off a truck and located the valve off to the side so you could add air ez and looked cool too. I could ride all day.

here are some better pics of the one i built

i didnt link them together to a single valve incase one of them blew i could still be ok with just the one bag

Is this the same as the TC brothers one http://www.ebay.com/itm/110838932302 ?

I’m a big guy at 250lbs+ without the gear. I was considering doing an air ride suspension and even an air ride seat. Do you think I need two bags for the seat and two for the suspension or is one more than enough?

Any part numbers for the goodyear airbag?

 

[Ketis]

Yeah, its the same exact bag as the TC-bros one except it says goodyear on it instead of tcbros.

I am 225 without gear and the dual bag setup works great for me.

I had the signle bag set up and I'm at 250 +or- road great. the air bag is from a truck cab air ride set up they can take a lot of weight.

Ketis - do you have some measurements of your airbags?

 

[DEMON DAVE]

I went ahead and purchased the TC bros kit (duel bag) very quality kit , haven't installed it yet since bike is in build status but ill post up pics when its installed

I have the TC Bros kit and it is very nice, and easy to install. I cant say yet how it rides as I am finishing my bike, but will review when it is finished, and the snow melts. I did have an issue with one of the bags leaking, but i put 60 psi in it and it must of made a seal seat because it now holds air fine. I find 10PSI feels pretty comfortable.

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have the measurements for the top and bottom brackets? Trying to diy myself a setup like this just curious how they do theirs.
