  3. That seatpost is a 22.2 mm post i think. And the summit is eithor 27.2
    or 25 mm so you would need to get a shim like this...

  6. No. You would need a new post. Miyata and Torker seats attach to posts
    with a different bolt pattern than all other seats.

  9. It says it comes with a seat post but if it dosent...The only post that
    is in stock that will fit it is the GB4 universal seat post. It comes in
    22.2 and 25.4 If you summit already has a shim in it i think the 25.4
    will fit, if you you can get a shim to make it whatever size you want
    it.

  11. It says the 22.2 mm GB4 is out, so they still have the 25.4mm

    If that air seat comes with a 22.2 mm post (you should probally call)
    you could get this http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=244
    adaptor, get the 27.2 size.

    If the air seat dose not come with a seat post you could get the 25.4
    GB4 post and one of these http://tinyurl.com/7qx9m or any other 25.4 to
    27.2mm shim you can find.

  15. Get a KH Fusion seat and make an air seat out of that. The KH Fusion
    will fit on the Summit seatpost you already have. That's the easiest
    solution. You don't have to deal with shims and you don't have to get a
    new seatpost.

    I have instructions for making an air seat in my 'Airseat gallery'
    (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Airseat). It's easy enough to make one
    yourself. No need to pay extra to have Unicycle.com make it for you.
    And by doing it yourself you can end up with a better seat for your
    preferences.

    If you're doing trials you may find that an air seat is not the best
    option for a trials uni. An air seat gives you a bit of a disconnect
    from the unicycle. You can sacrifice a little bit of hip english
    control of the unicycle. That kind of control is necessary for riding
    things like skinnies.

    A better solution for trials would be the KH Fusion and cut down the
    foam so it is less thick and easier to hold seat out front. Or a
    Koxx-One saddle which is basically a KH seat with the foam already cut
    down. Later you can convert the KH Fusion to an air seat if you so
    choose.

    One problem with the KH is that you may break the seat stiffener inside
    the seat. George Barnes is working on making an after market seat
    stiffener for the KH that will fix that problem. Or you can go whole
    hog and upgrade to the KH style carbon fiber seat base.

  16. see, i do do trials but i dont ride a lot of skinnies but the reason for
    the air seat is obviously comfort but also i wanted a seat that dosnt
    rub my legs when i jump(i get horrible rashes on my inner thy) the air
    seat does come with a seat post all i have to get is the adapter. it
    would also save me the work of putting it together, even if it is easy.

    What saddle do you have currently?

    The KH Fusion saddle has a narrower nose compared to the older KH
    saddles (non-Fusion). The narrower design is to reduce chafing and leg
    rubbing.

    If you go the air seat route be careful about the type of air pillow you
    use. If you use an air pillow that is too big, or if you go without an
    air pillow at all, the air saddle will bulge out as you sit on it making
    it wider than a foam seat. That is one of the other reasons that I made
    my air pillow.

    The Unicycle.com air saddles come with the folded over 'dogbone style
    air pillow' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=258). I
    found that style of air pillow to be too bouncy and bulky and floppy. A
    single layer air pillow with a bit of foam on top is a much better
    solution and a more comfortable saddle.

  18. I ride a standard (well not really even close...but not airseated)
    miyata on my trials. It is comfortable, stiff, strong, light, and has a
    good grip. A nice CF miyata is the perfect trials seat, IMHO.
