i want to get a new freestyle unicycle to replace my torker. i really want a semcycle long neck frame and a kh gel seat. would that be a good unicycle? Could i use a nimbus wheelset with the semcycle frame? Would a nimbus frame be better?😕 😕
I would say a gel because it's thinner. The kh freestyle seat looks ugly to me because its all short and stubby. The gel seat has a handle and the freestyle one doesn't. I don't think having a handle restricts anything but not having one might make it more uncomfortable to hold the front of the seat. I don't do much freestyle but I know thinner seats are better for mauverablity and stuff like that.
I would go with the gel saddle. I have the regular KH saddle on my unicycle, and the handle gets in the way for sideways wheel walk and hopping on the wheel, though not too much, but it helps for lots of other stuff. I think the thinner saddle would probably be easier to pull in and out, but I worry that it wouldn't be strong enough for a lot of sideways wheel walk and side ride. I've heard that the gel saddle is just as strong as the regular one, though.
clearly the jell saddle is also a great deel more comfortable then the regular one, for distance riding for example (for those of us crazy enough to do distance riding on a 20"!)
