I must ask, how is the saddle(as far as comfortability goes) on long rides. It seems with the layers of foam, air and gel that it should be pretty cushy and preventative of saddle sorness on long rides.
I took it on it's maiden voyage last night. Only 2 1/2 miles. It was great, already feeling comfortable on it. The seat was very comfy. It remains to be seen how it will feel on a long ride but I think it's a great seat (not that I have any other airseat to compare it to). I'll be insatlling the brake on it soon. I'll see how it performs on this rim. It seems to have a good braking surface.
This looks like one of the new aluminum rims we've been hearing about. I wonder how strong they are compared to the Airfoil. Or, rather, I wonder how weak they are compared to the Airfoil. Isn't the Airfoil a multi-channel cross-section? This looks like a single channel cross-section rim. I wonder if it is stronger or weaker than the single channel cross-section steel rim.
How many built up wheels does Darren have in circulation? It would be interesting to hear feedback from the owners.
The Bedford flames look great on that machine.

What what I seem to be hearing, they aren't actually aluminum rims, but steel rims that look like aluminum alloy.

It's single channel cross section, and probably exactly the same as the old stock rim in all but finish. the braking surface may be better. I'll be taking mine to the British Unicycle Convention if any of those who know what they're on about want to have a look or play. I've no substantial experience to compare the new rim to I'm afraid
