Slippery seat

[Pocket STocker]

So I just know I will regret asking this question      


My new textile riding pants are very slippery on the seat, while the Russell seat holds me mostly in place because of the shape of it, the surface between the two is slippery.

So far we know there is nothing on the bike seat, cleaning products etc and don't wish to put a small non slip pad on the seats as I standup occasionally and it will blow off the bike or heaven forbid I walk away and it's stuck to my bum 

So any ideas what I can do to my pants or a product for the seat that won't cause damage to the seat 


Chris wants to put a few tiny spots of silicon on my riding pants like the soles of those slip resistant socks, any other thoughts before we consider this 


Thank you for your respectable and clean replies

Muust resistttt maakkkinnng smart comment  use the force graham be strong   

on a serious note, i would be careful with the silicon, as you would be combining different products and they might react differently and that might not be good for seat pants or rider...

So many great lines.....    and so much fear of retribution.....

I'm not sure how this would go on jeans, but it works well on drive belts.

I can't wait to see how this thread progresses.

Alan Moffat used double sided tape to stop his overalls slipping around on the bench seat of the XY GTHO at Bathurst...

Just saying..

You could use something like this and sow ties with Velcro to hold it onto the Russell Day long seat
We would hate you to fall off, but that would be another story.

Try Clarke rubber they sell a really grippy thin foam  short term fix for Ballarat

The above work well. Just a couple of ties go under the seat to hold it in place.

Just modify your duds to match those ones I saw at the Mardi Gras on the teev the other night. Might get draughty though.

  what about a set of Andys straps to velcro you into the seat? Although if Abe is steering you may may need a couple to stop the sideways movement 

[Sabie]

What about a lambs wool seat cover?

[Abe]

What about the spray that football players spray on their hands for grip???

glue strip of emery cloth on the seat (not my seat) 

Used shark skin around the handle on my tent pegging lance in my young days, work great.

Abe . . . Stop with the suggestions . . . The Chaps sound like a good answer!

Sheepskin seat cover....

Years ago when I was playing Squash, there was a spray that we'd spray on the toweling grip, to make it non-slip.    There might be something like that that you can spray on the seat of your jeans.

and if it's reflective you could stand up when a car was approaching from the rear at night and dazzle him!

In the horse riding idustry they have things called Sitcky Bum Jodpurs. Now I am not suggesting that guys get into Joddy's but the sticky bum concept might have merit.

   Get rid of the Russell and go back to the OEM seat. I would be happy to take the Russell off your hands.

  Maybe get an upholsterer to replace the centre part of the bike seat with a more grippy type of material

That is an option 

Why Sicman, your answer surprises me. It was clean. 

Get PitSTop to take your temperature, but to be accurate do it how your mother use to.   

[Sicman]

Well I never 

[Neale]

Yes you do, I've seen you.

His answer might have been clean  .............. but he was thinking about it ..........

How about horse saddle wax. It doesn't hurt the leather and helps with the grip / traction.

Great suggestion.  Even the newest of members have a lot to offer as well as learn.

How would that go though on a non-porous material like the vinyl ?? Thought with a little moisture from sweat or rain it may have opposite effect ??

Thanks for the idea
