Pulling through?

Someone needs to make a reenforcment plate similar to the ones for the
miyata handle for the KH handle. I would definetly buy it.

Municycle.com has a 'brake lever mount' (http://tinyurl.com/vgl8s) that
will cover that. But not quite the same thing.

A specially made reinforcement plate for the KH saddles would be nice.
Would solve the pull through problem and stiffen up the handle a bit as
well.

Yeah, my saddle flexes too much, and I have no where near the money for
a CF base. And im not sure that that brake lever thing would be worth
it ifI would have to pay shipping from MDC... Thanks for the link
anyway.

OK, so ive been thinking that instead of getting that brake reenforcer
thingy, ill get a miyata when my current one breaks. I think that the
miyata is a lot more customizable without going CF. I was thinking get
a miyata/LX off UDC, then get a GB4 reenforcer plate for it, and also
that thing that goes under the handle the reenforce it more, and it
would only cost $62! Im not really concerned about comfort becuase I
ride trials, but I am concerned about the handle. I have heard that it
is really bad. I know of a couple alternatives but would be happy for
more suggestions. I could get an expensive Kinkport which I have heard
are good, but that they snap really easily. Maybe not if I have that
reenforcer thingy where the handle bolts on. Also I could get a reeder,
but that would not be ideal because I also do some street. As far as I
know that would just leave me back with the standard miyata handle.

the miyata handle is fine, for trials you will mostly be doing sif, so
it doesn't really matter.

the kimport isnt too pricey. If you modified it like 'Spencer'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54706), it would
work. I find the standard Miyata/ Lx handles really uncomfortable.

The old-school Miyata handles that were made in Japan were strong.
Then Miyata moved the saddle manufacturing to China and the quality
went downhill. The Chinese made Miyata bumpers use a different mold
and a different plastic material. They are not nearly as strong. In
fact, they rip apart quite easily. Which is why Bruce developed his
'Frankeyata Yoopers Fix'
(http://www.newyorkunicycle.com/howto/yoopersfix/).

The Torker LX handles are also not as strong as the original Miyata
handles.

Would it be OK if I used 'this'

Both of those are specific for the Miyata or Torker LX seat. They
won't fit a KH style seat.

The Miyata seat stiffener works well to stop flex and seat breakage at
the front of the seat. However it does not protect the back section of
the seat so heavy landings on the back part of the seat can still break
the plastic seat base. It's also heavy. But it works. I have one on
my Miyata seat on my freestyle uni. I used one on my muni seat (also a
Miyata) before I switched to a carbon fiber seat base.

Yeah, they are specific to a Miyata/LX seat. As I posted earlier I was
thinking of getting a Miyata/LX from UDC, and then a stiffener for it.
I really want a CF but I have no money for it🙁

My personal experiences with the Miyata seat are all with the old made
in Japan version of the Miyata seat. That version was stronger with
better plastic for the base, handle, and bumper. The made in Japan
version is strong and durable with the added seat base stiffener and
handle reinforcement. It's not bombproof since the back of the seat
can still break even with the stiffener, but will do well.

Unfortunately I don't know how the new Miyata seats and Torker LX seats
do in comparison. I do know they're weaker.

If you already have components and parts from other broken saddles you
can put together a CF saddle for not much more than a new LX saddle
plus the reinforcement plates and other modifications. Plus you have
to factor in the cost of different seatposts because the Miyata/LX uses
a different seatpost mount than the KH so you may find yourself needing
a different seatpost and/or shims to get it all to work.

Yeah, I was just thinking get an LX seat (with reenforcer plate) because
it comes with a seatpost for it and its the correct diameter, all for
just $40+$10 plate=cheap decent seat. I actualy would go with an $80 CF
UDC base but I have very limited experience with machines,
drilling(that I can do I jsut dont have a drill press), etc.
