    Ok I've broken enough stupid seat bases now, and I'm probably going to
    switch to a carbon fiber seat base (KH style, for street/trials).

    What's the cheapest/easiest option? Just get it off UDC or is there
    something better?

    Thanks.

    back in the day it was cheaper to get CF bases from UDC UK even here in
    the US. Not sure thats still the case though.

    UDC US recently raised their price to $97 so it is definitely cheaper
    to get it from the UK. Darren has them too but I don't know how much.

    The wallis bases are really nice but more money.

    Even though I have 2cf bases already I think I am going to pick up a
    Wallis or 2 since I heard he will be stopping production sometime.
    After riding cf everything else seems so bleh. The k1 I am using now
    without a cf feels so sloppy for tricks. Once you go cf you never go
    back.

    Yeah ucd uk.

    are you serious? why?

    his bases aren't the cheapest option, but i would say that they are the
    best. i really really enjoy mine.
