  1. Check out this seat at

    http://tinyurl.com/yuxana

    it is apparently good for long distance riding and muni and downhill, i
    want a really supportive seat, and i was wondering if it would be
    better, as in more comfortable for long distance riding than the KH
    Fusion Saddle I have just broken:P

    Any handy tips? does anyone have one similar? does gel wear out much
    faster than the other forms of padding?

  2. they are good for ditance. But I've used a modified kh seat and I find
    this better. I haven't tried the fusion but I think it would be better.

    They are expensive because they use only the finest soft drink cans.

  4. I just used that saddle in a 25 mile bikathon on my uni, its very comfy
    though you may also want to look at: http://tinyurl.com/2p3s97

    As for the gel saddle, the whole cushion isn't gel. Its just an area on
    the front of the seat which is 'gel' and it doesn't go all the way to
    the plastic base, its just really a patch of softer foam.

    We only need one 36" rim, one that doesn't suck. A properly sized KH rim
    (like the 29er only larger) would be awesome.

  6. Or better yet, a fusion freeride converted to an air seat, with duct
    tape enhancements.

    1. air seats are horrible for most people for distance.

    2. the freeride fusion part makes no difrence; you taking out the foam
    and replacing it with air...

    personally, i find air seats too squishy and shifty, also, they are so
    horrible when they get flats. total ride ruiner

  9. I have really struggled to find a comfortable seat and overal, for
    distance, it's the Fusion Freeride.

    I have:
    Torker DX - Not flat enough and I go numb pretty fast. Easier to hold
    for SIF than KH air.

    Nimbus Gel. The easiest to hold onto for SIF, but I go numb after
    30-40 minutes of riding w/o breaks.

    Fusion Freeride - overal the most comfortable, esp. on smooth terrain,
    but my but and back get sore from drops. Not as easy to hold for SIF
    as the DX, the top surface and squishy foam makes it squirm in my
    hand.

    KH air - I swiched the tubes from a 20X1.75 to a 20X2.5, I think I
    whent a bit too big of a tube. It took forever and many attempts to
    get it on just right both is rather comfortable and absorbs the impact
    from bumps and drops well. I like it at 4.5 psi the best, but it's
    rounded instead of having two nice ridges for my sit bones. The
    hardest to hold onto for SIF. Mainly do to the thickness, but also do
    to the squishyness.

    What I think the perfect saddle would be:

    KH air - 20X1.75" or 2.00" tube and a .5 inch thick foam cut too match
    the whole area of the seat w/ a .5 -1 inch strip down the middle
    missing from the foam.

    If the base isn't completely broken you may want a 'stiffener plate'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=607) or a 'CF '
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=259)base (couldn't
    find either on the Aus. site) You should still get one of these even
    if you completely broke the base and ruined the foam, since you will
    eventually break the base of whatever replacement seat w/o them.
