  1. I have a very uncomfortable uni seat! After just an hour of riding, my
    keester cant take it anymore! I think it is mostly because the back of
    the seat is either too skinny or too hard. I would very much like to
    know what type or brand of seat is the most comfy for riding long
    distances.

  2. I havent rode one but i have heard air seats are very comfortable. Here
    is one on UDC.

    Or you could make one:

    'Miyata Air Seat Conversion' (http://www.unicycling.org/airseat/)
    I heard the KH seat and miyata are good too.

    But what suits you depends on what type of unicycle it is, what type of
    riding you do, and the peculiarities of your body and your keister.
    What is comfortable for one person may not be comfortable at all for
    another person.

    Air seats can be good for Cokers and munis. Air seats are not good for
    freestyle unicycles.

  9. If you don't want to hand-build, get a Kris Holm seat. I just used one
    yesterday for a 14-17 mile ride with 4000' of grueling, technical
    downhill. I was amazed at the end to realize my crotch was barely
    starting to be sore. That's the best I've ever had on such a ride!

    Remember, no two crotches are alike, so what works for someone else is
    not necessarily the best solution for you. You forgot to tell us what
    kind of seat you're using now.

  10. Actually my name is nick, so UNI + NICK =UNICK, but anyway, I have a 20
    inch cheap department store one, but i'm about to get a 26 inch Sun.
    I'll probably get an airseat, although $99 is alot (Im 12 years old, so
    most of my income is from allowance).

  11. My seat is just a normal one with probably foam inside. It's skinny,
    and curves upward longways, but it's very flat on top, so the edges hurt
    after a while

  12. O ya, I really don't want to use bike shorts, especially the tight ones!

  13. If you don't "want" to use bike shorts, you don't want to be comfortable
    an equal amount. You can use the mountain bike kind, that look like
    "regular" shorts.

    For the ride I did yesterday, I specifically chose to ride with
    traditional, skin-tight bike shorts. This is inconvenient for me, as the
    lack of pockets is always a hassle. But I know those are more important
    than anything with multiple layers of material in the crotch area. It
    paid off handsomly. You can also wear skin-tight bike shorts under a
    pair of regular shorts, kind of like underwear.

    For your seat, I'd recommend the KH. You won't be disappointed and
    you'll save a bunch of money.

  14. Sounds like a Savage seat, throw it away immediatly, you'd be better off
    to just sit directly on the seatpost.

    Also get bike shorts, they make a huge difference, and a Kris Holm
    Saddle iwill make a big differnce.

    The seat on my Coker is now a gel/air saddle, quite comfy, but I've yet
    to ride a long haul on it.

  15. For cheap you don't need to buy an airseat....get a KH or a Miyata from
    unicycledotcom. 'cept the Miyata's are out of stock for pretty much
    ever, so get a Torker LX seat, they're basically the same, only not as
    pretty, in my not so humble opinion.
