  1. I may finally order the 'Semcycle freestyle uni'
    (http://store.semcycle.com/product_info.php?products_id=4) I've been
    wanting for a really long time, but I don't know if I should get the
    'upgraded seat' (http://tinyurl.com/m8wfz). I definitely want to use
    either the Nimbus gel or the new KH street saddle on this particular
    uni, but maybe the Semcycle seat converted to air for distance riding
    is not so bad? What do those of you who have tried it think? It costs
    $15 for the upgrade, but that's a waste of money if it's not
    comfortable.

  3. The Semcycle air seat is an old school air seat design. A more modern
    design with an air pillow under some foam is better.

    There are better saddle options than the old school Semcycle air
    saddle.

    I'm now using a full foam saddle on my Coker. More comfortable for
    long rides than my old air saddle (air pillow under foam) and much less
    fuss. As soon as I can get a new KH Fusion saddle (with the new foam
    design) I'm going to try the new Fusion foam on my Coker (with a CF
    seat base). I'm thinking that's going to be the ticket for a better
    Coker seat.

  4. If you are doing freestyle on a freestyle uni, then an air seat is not a
    good idea. You will catch your foot on it. Slim, tight, firm, out of
    the way is the key.

    If you are doing distance, then don't get a freestyle uni.

    The Sem seat upgrade is a little weird compared to other saddles. If
    you are doing freestyle outside, you will cut through the cover
    quickly, especially on the front edge. In this case, it is better to
    have a saddle with a replaceable plastic front bumper that will last a
    lot longer when impacting hard, rough surfaces.

    John Stone swears by the Sem air saddle for distance, but then again
    you are not doing distance.
