Can I do anything with a viscount?

wow, dude, the viscount is the best set for unispin tricks and what not.
Get use to sitting on it, it's kinda painful but you must be a newer
rider. Anything to do to it is just tape the front for a handle, and
there's a great uniseat.

I hate it for distance/comforbility. He has it on a coker, so he won't
be using it for unispins and stuff like that.

YOU NEVER KNOW!!

lol but for my little brother's unicycle seat I got a piece of foam
rubber and shaped it like the seat, its too soft to make much of a diff
for me, but it works GREAT for him... take off the front and back
bumpers... get a piece of cloth that seems suitable (smooth and tough)
cut it WAY too big, get some suitable foam (cut it to shape), glue it
to the seat with contact/rubber cement then to the cover... place the
cover over it all ... pull to desired tension and put the bumpers back
on ... then get an industrial stapler (not for paper) and staple the
cover to the seat... on the bottom only... not the sides

ohh and just for fun ... make SURE to leave some staples sticking out
the top fabric for a massaging action for you "private" area HAH!

yeah I will probably end up doing that, except use a gel pad from a
wrist support for a keyboard.
For a second there though I thought you were talking about using the
Viscount seat, and I was like WTF kinda of stapler are you using that
goes into that base!!! :p.

People have sucessfully fitted a Kris Holm handle onto a viscount
saddle, which will make a big improvement as you will be able to lift
yourself out of the saddle on long coker rides. Use the Search
facility for details on how they did it and photographs

Does the New Coker that they were going to launch at NAUCC still have
the viscount saddle?

I know I can put handles on them, but really I don't care much about a
handle, I just want something that is comfy, something rather unlike
the viscount seat I guess.

If you ride regularly so you get used to it, the viscount seat isn't
that bad. With a KH handle it becomes a really strong seat. I'd go new
KH seat all the way if you have the choice as it's got a very nice
shape now, but the stock viscount was fine for 60 mile rides once I was
used to it.

You can put a (cheap - like £5/$10) gel seat cover from a bike shop on
it too if you want more comfort which looks nice and works for some
people. Like at the bottom of the page on here. Better than messing
around with laptop wrist supports or whatever.

I don't notice the Viscount being any more or less comfortable than any
other seat. I have done 30 - 50 mile days on my Coker on one, and also
have a Viscount on my 20.

It's a matter of getting the seat position right, wearing the right
clothes, and accepting that unicycling is not a pain free activity.

After riding a dual density seat exclusively I now am so spoiled that
even a normal KH seat feels uncomfortable rather quickly.

It looks like I will be making a gel seat out of it. I have now
hollowed out all the foam, bought the gel and I'm going to drill it
soon for the kh handle. I will let you all know how it turns out in the
end!

They put on panda suits and then pretend they're milking a cow. It's

I know that Terry(bigwheel) turned his fusion saddle into a gel one with
a gel bike seat pad like joe marshall said. it was pretty comfy, but I
prefer the foam ones. It's mostly preferance I guess.

personally, my favorite seat for distance riding is the KH/axiom, I
like the fusion and and nimbus gel more for muni and trials/street
though. I don't really liek the viscount for anything except pure
trials which I don't really do. try tiliting the seat back. it might
help. Or you might be able to buy some KH foam from someone on the
forums and put it on.
