Very stiff, not freely rotating
580900
I wanted this product because of the large flat surface for my feet.  They were noticably hard to spin. On my first ride, I got a clicking sensation on one of the pedals, repeatedly, on the upstroke.  Rather than return them, I decided to dissasemble, regrease, and adjust the tightness of the retaining nut.  Now, they seem to be great..and spin freely.  I was lucky because I never worked on pedals.  They are a lot of tiny ball bearings inside that require careful handling.

I wanted to like this.  The material is too stiff - wanted something more flexible, especially with the 8ft. with a lot of movement.  For sure is well-made and durable.  But too stiff.  Returned

This gooseneck swivels a LOT and will not stay in one place

These are very stiff and unless you have extraordinary grip strength, you won't be able to use them easily.

Installation wasn't that bad, but once it's installed, it's really stiff, you really have to pull very hard in order for it to move/adjust position. I don't think I would recommend this to anyone because of this.

Very stiff.  Doesn't flow in the wind like I would like but maybe after some time outside it will loosen up.

Almost too strong.  would be better if not so stiff.

REALLY thick and stiff. Ultimately, I had to store the pillow for someone else to try at some point. I ended up with another pillow altogether as this pillow was just too stiff more my taste.

The mount is extremely heavy and the mount was stiff. I was unable to turn the mount smoothly. I didn't like the design when I saw it out of the box. I returned it.

pretty stiff, hard to twist in and out of wall outlet, not enough threads  for eyeball holding ring (?), that's what i call it

Very disappointed in this. It is very difficult to rotate. I would have sent it back but by the time I used it, it was past the return date :(

Not a level rotation, gets caught up at one spot so not smooth operation.

Looks good, but very stiff and uncomfortable. It was purchased as a gift and he hates it. We will be returning it.

This is an extremely firm "cushion."  Not what I expected. It's like sitting on a very stiff piece of styrofoam. And, yes, I did try to "break it in."

Other reviewers have said these do not have much flexibility and are quite rigid.  I would agree.  They are so stiff that it is hard to move your foot or walk.  The side zipper is very uncomfortable as well.  I returned them.

It's very stiff leather that I could barely keep in a circle which seemed to make my dog uncomfortable.
I will have to use some other stuff to try and make it more soft.

Well, I bought this based on the strong ratings, but the number of underlying complaints that it was too stiff, thus actually hurting your wrist more, unfortunately proved true.  It is just too hard-- like sitting your wrist on a 2x4, and then it actually caused tendinitis in my right index finger because of the angle of my wrist and hand.  High hopes-- really bad reality......  I would avoid, especially for the price.
