Stone?

Can anybody translate it to metric?


1 stone = 6.35029318 kilograms

18 stone = 114.305277 kilograms = 252 pounds

Agreed if it's got the skinny ones it will feel tight to a lot of people. You can get wider ones from some manufacturers.

cheers for all the replies guys.
it wasn't the seats that was the problem for me, i like tight hugging buckets, it was more the leg room or lack of that was the concern. Although 6'3" is hardly a giant, i've got pretty long legs.....

I'll have to find someone tall near me with a locost...... any helpers?

I am 6ft 2" and 16 stone (34" waist with a 48" chest) and I fit in my MK Indy ok.....



I need to lower the seat a bit more as my head is on the roll bar with a helmet on, but without it is no problem at all. If there was not a full roll cage it would be no problem at all!
