    Hey I'm thinking about entering a 25 mile bicycle ride(not a race) on my
    coker. What is the softest seat for long distance?
    Is 'this' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=973) handle
    actually worth there money or are there better handles?
    What size s are best for fast riding?

    Hope you can help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    would probable be the most comfortable. I have the an the air saddle
    option that I bought with my Nimbus36. It is pretty comfortable, but
    the air bladder tends to slide around a bit until I taped it down some.

    Keep in mind that softest may not be the most comfortable. Personally,
    I use a stock KH freeride saddle with padded cycling shorts, and it
    works pretty well. (I've done 100K on this setup.) I think the best
    thing to do is try out different saddles and see what works for you.

    I wrote an article about it in review. Many others will say the KH free
    ride.

    A Kh fusion freeride or Nimbus Gel will do you well for that kind of
    distance, you deff. want a 36" or a geared 29" wheel. I have the T7 and
    love it, it really helps with control and seat comfort.

    I think the T7's main advantage is that so much stuff can be attached to
    it-- I stopped using it because it's cumbersome if you aren't using it
    to that advantage.

    Try searching for reviews on the Scott Wallis V-Grip:

    I love my T7, even without it it has helped me alot.
    It is very easy to change speeds with it and keep a good steady
    balance.
