Seat customizing

Scroll to the bottom. Cutting a little bit off the front helps. Though,
this may not work for you at all. You really have to cut it the way you
like it..which will take a little experimentation. I'd say get a tad
bit more advice before cutting your foam though..I don't know much
about cutting kh fusion foam.

Another possibility is adjusting the angle of the seat. KH makes an
adapter that allows the use of a bicycle seatpost, which can be
adjusted to different angles.

Kris recommended this to me when I asked about saddle comfort. I
actually went the airseat route instead.

Hei Anders,

Have you found a good way to modify the KH fusion seat yet? I'm looking
at the same options for mine.

Everyone always says tilt. The kit required to adjust tilt costs a bit,
but on the other hand probably not as much as a new saddle if you mess
up a modification. Tilt is worth playing with - particularly if you
can try out somebody else's tiltable setup first.

I tried it for the first time today - I think I like it and definitely
feel like I'm now sitting on my bum, rather than on the space between
bum and nethers. It's psychologically better 🙂 and possibly
physically better too - I need to try it more before I decide for
certain.

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

I was in the same dilemma. I bought a bicycle seat post and a KH seat
rail adapter. With these, I was able to tilt the seat way back.
Before this, I would feel some numbness after about 20 minutes. After
tilting my seat back, I'm able to at least double that time without the
numbness. The best part is that I haven't cut into my seat at all.

I still toy with the idea of cutting away some of the foam so that I
can add a layer of gel padding, but I don't know if I really need to.
The tilting made a huge difference and was easy to do.

Good luck.

The shape the new saddles have is an improvement, I believe, with the
groove down the middle and the wedge off front and back. I haven't
ridden it much yet, but I think it would be more comfortable if the
back hadn't been trimmed down, only the front.

So, in my opinion, the two best mods would be to take a wedge off the
front, and put a groove in the middle.

It's easiest to cut foam with one of those electric carving knives by
Hamilton Beach.

I use a rail adapter on my other seat, and I didn't consider it until
now, but that probably is why it feels so much easier to ride...
