  3. I like the Miyata alot, it has a decent handle, and is really
    comfortable, the big problem with it is it comes with a wacky bolt
    pattern. I think that the Kris Holm saddle is also good, but a bit
    bulky, and I think it's less comfortbale than the Miyata. So I would go
    with the Miyata, but most will probably say Kris Holm.

    otherwise...

  5. well a miyata's pretty good, but it's just an lx saddle a little bigger
    and a different color. i ride on a kh fusion and it works well.
    airseats are also nice too if you can afford them. i'd get the kh if i
    were u

  6. if you want to do freestyle mostly, go with miyata. if you want to do
    trials mostly, go with either miyata or KH. if you want to do
    MUni/distance mostly, go with KH.

  7. ok 1) KH will never last ( not sure about the fusions) but his old ones
    suck a nut, i went through 4 or 5 before i gave up on them. 2) what are
    u looking for in a seat? a comphortable one? strong?
    and3) viscount all the way, if u want a seat that will most likley hold
    up to alot more then any other seat with out spending alot of money then
    go for the O'l V-count

  8. So, The KH Fusion would be the best choice? Cause I hear both Miyata and
    Holmes. so do this to vote
    Post either

    A) KH Fusion Saddle
    B) Miyata Saddle

  10. If you get the KH, you'll need a new seat post to fit the different bolt
    pattern. If you get the Miyata, you might find it has a very familiar
    feel, you know, because it's the same as the Torker LX.

    He's right, your best choice would be to spend 3 bucks and an afternoon
    airseating your Saddle:

    Ingredients:
    Big Tubesock
    Duct Tape
    12", 16", or 18" tube
    tools to open/close up your seat cover

    Aply air and let cook at 350° for 20 minutes and voila, comfy
    airsaddle.

    I myself use only air, no foam. The KH seems to suck a nut more than the
    airsaddle. Just based on the fact of the angle on it provides for some
    serious nutbusters, but for muni, it's great.

  14. I made an airseat out of the Torker and LOVE IT.
    It makes seat out stuff (like trials) easier because the air compresses
    for the thumb holding the seat.

    Moreover, you can change the air pressure in the seat to give different
    riding feels - like I add air - and it is like I raised my seat (good
    for climbing and distance) and lower air for trials and rough off-road
    riding. You can change your seat pressure to match your mood. Although
    one time I used high pressure in the tire and high pressure in the seat,
    and I could barely ride - it was as though I was on a different unicycle
    altogether.

  16. Viscount airseat with SW or Kinport handle. As of right now you cant get
    a SW handle though.

    I like to call the viscount with a handle (like mine) the poor mans
    miyata.

  17. If you want a saddle that is stiff and one that will last you need to
    build your own out of a CF base with Kinposrt handle/bumper. Everyother
    saddle that I have tried (all that are currently on the market) have
    failed to meet my expectations of preformance or longevity.
