We had the same issue we contacted the company and they sent us a new seat post. They are super helpful and friendly.

Yes, I just got my bike and the seat wobbles a lot. I crammed some cardbd in where it appeared to be wobbling, but it only improved a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Since the seat post is a standard size, you should be able to replace the seat with one that better suits your needs. I would take the seat off and take it with you to a bicycle store to make sure the seat posts are compatible in size and pick a seat that fits your needs.

maybe because the seat post will not fully retract? look at the frame style. at its lowest point my saddle is several inches above the frame. might put normal sizing out.....I bought mine from a shop so tested it in person

Seat adjustment is not so good. There's a hand screw underneath the seat that has to be unscrewed nearly entirety in order to adjust the seat. Then it needs to be tightened when you find the spot you like. While not necessarily difficult, it is rather time consuming.

I don't think so. I can't check right now. But, I didn't notice any movement in the one I got. If you look on the bottom, you might see a locking nut or something for that post. It might just be lose.

My husband is 5'11" and he had to add a 3 inch riser to the handlebars and put the seat all the way up to make it fit....He wished he would have had a 4" riser instead of the 3". We both got the same bike, I am 5'4" and had to put in a new lower seat post. The suspension on the seat post didn't allow the seat to be low enough for me. We both got new saddles as the ones that came with the bike were very uncomfortable....All that being said, we are very pleased with the bikes after making the adjustments. Even the guy at the bike shop who went over the bikes after my husband assembled them said they were a good deal for the price.

Mine also wiggled but I went back to it the next day, and got it really tight. I think the adjuster helps. It's worth the $10. Another option is taking it to a car seat inspection. They will get it tight for you. I'd gotten mine so tight that the inspector left it alone, saying I installed it perfectly!

Unfortunately it didn't fit correctly on my seat post so I had to return it, so I don't really know....sorry about that.

I've never bought a saddle that wouldn't fit a seat post but I'm not sure about this one and your specific post. Your bike shop should be able to tell you or contact the manufacturer. Sorry I'm not much help!

I tried to measure the "post" diameter, but I could not get to it from underneath and the saddle itself is attached with some sort of #3 Hex Cap that I could not seem to remove (like it is attached with red loctite?) The outer diameter of this hex-cap is 1.258", so the hole under that must be smaller (and apparently "threaded"? I will try to post some photos in a review momentarily.

I have a similar bike (kid's bike from the 50s) and had to do some rigging. My seatpost is also not a standard size so I bought a 1/2" U bolt and used the flat metal piece with the 2 holes to attach to my seatpost. They send a lot of pieces so you should be able to get it to work. Since every bike is different, it's not really a one size fits all but, they do try to accommodate everyone with what they send. If you're not really mechanically minded I would ask a friend who is to give you a hand.

The seat is a typical bike seat and is attached to the post by a male/female like connection. The connection is secured by a bolt/nut combo. Take a socket wrench and tighten the *#$## out of it, and it will snug the seat up.

I had the same problem. The front keeps dropping. I looked at the instructions and they show a support which goes into two little tubes. However, I never received this piece. I contacted the seller who told me that it would be sent, but it never arrived. I don't use this seat anymore because of this.

I am returning a seat that does not fit, still looking on Amazon for one, as I do not relish paying postage both ways again!!Wish I had seen these posts, before doing the return info. I might have asked to have those prices waved.

I just recently built mine and the seat is rock-solid. You have to keep the adjustment screw tight, but I've not detected any movement of the seat while riding. I'm not a big fan of the adjustment screw concept. Although it seems to work well, it's inconvenient (at best) when there are multiple users (and there are three of us using it).

I had the same problem. It is because it is not very long. I suggest you drill a half inch hole fore or aft of the pin going completely through and install a bolt and nut. That will take out any looseness and be very secure.
