Not being disrespectful but you probably need some "overload springs" like Bella put on his DF since you are above the design weight of the bike seat spring like most Americans.

A gel pad would help also.
Earlier in the thread I read removing spring to break it loose in a vise, but I still can't get my head around it yet. My spring is already closed up tight without me sitting. To 'pre-load' do you open the spring ?
Last night looked for "overload springs" and only found extra springs put on the outer rear seat frame, is that what you mean?

185Lbs & seat nearly all the way down upon seating.
