  1. Ok, we were riding in a local skatepark today when this happened. If you
    can't see from the photo, the base has cracked allowing the front two
    bolts to rip straight through both it and the metal plate inside. Has
    anyone else had a failure like this because i've not seen one yet? I
    don't jump particularly hard so i'm not sure why it happened. Anyway,
    down to serious business, what shall i do for the replacement? The
    options as i see them are:
    1. Buy a KH Fusion for £28

    2. Buy a CF KH Base, a fusion cover and nick the foam and handle/bumper
    from my current wrecked saddle to create an uber-saddle capable of
    taking over the world. Cost £43 or £47 if i buy a fusion handle
    aswell.

    3.Do something akin to baloon modeling with an inner tube an make an air
    saddle (not really thought about this one too much)

    Any advice on the fusion, Cf seat bases and air saddles would be
    greatfully received, or about anything i've obviously overlooked. For
    the record i ride Muni and trials on a Nimbus/KH 24", not much long
    distance and weigh 85 kg (190 pounds). Cheers.

  2. Mine did that, but it was used. I have a feeling one of those modified
    seatposts with the stiffener fin thing would have prevented the problem.
