  1. After several recent rides, I came to realize that the handle on my
    Torker LX seat was nearing the end of it's life. I began to notice a
    large amount of flex in the seat that hadn't been there before, and on
    further inspection I noticed a very large crack on the inside of the
    handle. I know that handles aren't expensive, but because I'm so cheap
    I decided to try and fix it myself. To do this, I simply found a 10-32
    screw laying around the garage and drilled a hole through the seat and
    handle to accommodate it. A quick tightening, and it's done.

    I'll have to see how it holds up over the next few weeks, but the
    handle felt much sturdier when I rode around this evening. Just
    thought I'd post this if anyone ever has a similar problem.

  2. I did something similar to my kinport a while ago except I put the bolts
    through to prevent it from cracking but it turned out I tightened them
    too much so it cracked anyway.

  3. This has bee done many times before on miyata seats.
    I googled Yoopers fix, and this was the first result:
