  1. Well in an unfortunate turn of events, just before I purchased my CF
    base the price has been raised to $97 from around $75 I believe. Looks
    like I'll be trying that viscount handle conversion. 😠

    Because I had a $50 gift certificate to a bike shop which was a UDC
    vendor. :-/

  4. well then...what's an extra measly $22 for something that will change
    your life? (other than the bad timing)

    having used mine for several years now, I would have happily paid $150
    for it 🙂

    But then you have to buy a new seatpost, and use a miyata or kinport
    handle and bumper as the base is not made to fit KH handles and
    bumpers.

  9. haha...but on the "custom saddles" page, the difference between a
    standard LX air seat and a cf LX airseat is still only $75!!

    quick question...are cf bases only useful for trials and muni? or do
    they have a place on a 36er?

    on a 36" muni, even a 36" non-muni they sure do (being able to pull up
    on the handle when on a steep descent and not having it flex is
    awesome) there is also the added benefit of not having bolts that hold
    your seat to the post attached into the plastic that will soon get
    ruined, having your bolt spin freely in the seat with the when trying
    to tighten/loosen the nut

    I have a Wallis base with threaded inserts so I modified a KH handle to
    fit it, I just drilled holes in the handle so it would line up with the
    threaded inserts in the base. I probably should have used spacers under
    the handle because there was a gap but I decided to tighten it down a
    lot instead because it is easier.
    Its working really well so far...it has only been 2 days since I
    finished it though.

  14. It's very unlucky for the price to have gone up just before you bought
    it. The extreme weakness of the US Dollar against the British Pound is
    entirely to blame and is the reason we had to increase the price of the
    magazine to the US earlier this year 🙁
