    Re: [RC] Almost a wreck - DESERTRYDR1


    The skito pad is made of a foam that's heat sensitive.  It is necessary to 
    cinch up, then walk a bit, then recinch.  Possibly even more than once.  The 
    reason is that as the pad warms from ambient temperature to body temperature, 
    it becomes much softer and much looser.  Since the pad came almost completely 
    out from under the saddle, it cooled down to the surrounding air temperature 
    when you put it back in place.  So when it heated up it got loose again.  Try 
    checking your cinch every five minutes or so for the first 1/2 hour until you 
    can't take it up any more.   jeri
