Perfect!! I cut about an inch off of both right and left pads then trimmed the edge all the way around. As I said, perfect. Thanks for the how too video. Fits like a glove. JUST RIGHT. Appreciate the info. Love it. I'm a fairly big guy. Once more thanks.

I use Jackson Zen II for the last 4.5 years. After few months of using it, the following thing started happening - I usually push with my toes, not close to the main pillar, as in the video. as I push close to the edge of the pedal, the plastic pedal bends and the foam starts sliding into the gap between the pedal and the hall. after some time, the foam starts deforming and entire foot support becomes not perpendicular to the main pillar, but forms an angle of, say, 75 degrees, sharp towards the bow. then, in my case, it caused ankle injury when foot support was not supportive when needed. I ended up finding a fix which works for now, but I wonder what you guys say to this. Generally this system is good because it is easy to change. but definitely it has flaws in providing firm support - that is no one else came up with something similar.

Do you ever clean & lube the mechanism? If so, what do you use? Thanks.

Is it ok to use without the foam? It's hard to get comfortable with it, and I did not like the results moving the seat back.
