  1. Just received my new KH Freeride seat, and guess what, being as
    experienced as i am, i leapt completely and voluntarily under my own
    power into a creek, submerging the seat, w--t!
    well, more or less anyway
    however, i was wondering, should i take the cover off and dry the foam
    pad and cover, or just leave it, will it matter? i.e get mouldy and
    damaged?

  2. As its Kh and the seat covers come off easily I would take off the cover
    and leave it to dry. The water isnt going to do it any good, it may
    mould or if it has a metal reinforcement plate that may rust.

  4. Just let it dry - it won't do it much harm. Mine's pretty much
    permanently wet. The foam itself doesn't soak up much water (it's
    possibly closed cell foam I think), so it's really just the cover that
    gets wet. Don't worry about it.

  5. I've jumped into a lake before with my uni. I took the seat cover off
    and blow dried the seat cover and the foam padding. before I submerged
    by seat, it had never gotten wet, besides maybe some rain. But when I
    took my seat cover off, there was already a big patch of mold, about
    the size of my fist. You'll still be able to ride the uni, but I
    suggest you take off your seat cover just to be safe.

  7. you want to know something cool?
    your seat will not soak up any water. the only thing wet is the
    cover/nooks and crannies, don't worry about it. it will be fine.
    I've put mine through the carwash more than once...

  8. Honestly, even if everything seems okay I would avoid purposely fully
    submerging your unicycle. You don't want anything rusting up - frame,
    tubular cranks etc.

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

    that sounds smart... try it on an old uni that doesnt really matter
    anymore!
