Trying to make my hybrid more comfy

iand-83

Looking for a few ideas what I can do to my Specialized Sirrus to make it a bit more comfy for commuting. So far have decided to change the saddle as the standard one isn't very comfy at all. Also thinking about changing from the standard 28c tyres to something a hit wider like 32/35c as there seems to be ample room. Would this work as these tyres seem to have a lower max rated pressure of around 60/70psi over 120psi for my current tyres.

Change the grips to Ergo grips, the ones with more rest support on the base of the hands.

Tyres are a good shout, suspension seat post?, adjustable stem and the mentioned ergon grips are good

I would certainly recommend the Ergon grips. I have the GP1s (http://www.ergon-bike.com/us/en/product/gp1) on a mountain bike that only ever goes on roads (for use when it's just not road bike weather) and I wouldn't go back to standard grips now.

Cheers will look for those grips. I think my mum might of actually just brought some for her bike which I fitted the other day.

What pressure are you running the tyres? - try 80-90psi rather than 120.

120psi is too high even for 23mm. For 28mm it's madness. Should be more like 80-90psi.

Mine lives in the lounge and I gave it a cushion what else could it need?

Currently running the tyres around 100psi will drop them to about 80psi and see how it goes.

Try setting the tyre pressure according to the 15% drop guideline. Depending on how heavy you are, you might find that even 80psi is higher than they need to be.
