  1. Aw man why does this always seem to happen to me!?
    Anyways I think my Kh saddle is broken. When I tried to switch it from
    one seat post to another the screw kindof seems to spin at the same time
    as the nut. Now, what I don't understand is this: why do they give
    "ceilinged" nuts with the saddle cause that mean it can only become so
    tight as opposed to regular nuts. But that's not the problem. I need to
    know how to remove/fix this thing.

    Man, just when I had some time off to add some footage for my video
    too...🙁

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Owen

  2. The bolts are spinning because the square part of the carriage bolt has
    eith come right out of the hole it should be sitting in, or the bolt has
    deformed that square hole in the plastic so it is now round.

    Do you have a dremmel tool? if you cut a slot into the bolt, you may be
    able to hold it with a flat head screw driver, and using wrench to turn
    the bolt.

    Go ahead and order a Roach cover now, becuase you'll most likely be
    wanting to rip that seat apart to get at the heads of the bolts.

    Spickydoo was able to replace the existing cover, so you won't 'need' a
    new cover, but it's alot less of a pain in the ass if you have the $ to
    spend.

    Good luck.

    A CF base will also fix your problems

  3. Well thanks...I can't say I know what to do but atleast I know that I
    won't be able to get some footage done this weekend...which isin't very
    good news might I say...

    Anyways, I'll take the thing apart and see what I can do...Oh, and about
    the cover why is it -stappled- to the saddle? Am I gonna have to baicly
    rip it off and duct tape it back on? (one thing I'm sure of though is
    that duct tape WILL be used. It's inevetable)

    Yeah, thanks.

    Check out my gallery for a picture of what I did to my old miyata seat.
    It may inspire you, or give you an idea of what to avoid.

    Removing the staples is easy. Just use a flathead screwdrive to pry them
    off. Also, you don't need to use too much duct tape. When I can, I'll
    post a pic of my current saddle, which is a miyata-style seatbase but a
    KH seatcover. I used minimal ducttape, and it works fine, except that
    the innertube I used for padding popped. Also, if the bolts are spinning
    and you are doing 32" rolling hops, I'll tell you now, from experience,
    that this is not something worth your time to repair. Take the seat
    apart so as to save any and all parts you can, because I am 100% sure
    that that seatbase is *very* near it's grave, due to the fact that the
    reinforcement plate is probably toast. Basically, start saving up for a
    cf seatbase, because that KH is not gonna last with the riding you seem
    to be doing/capable of.

    Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
    army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
    out?

  5. I'll see what I'll do...I the meantime I guess I'll be doing alot of
    trials-ish stuff with my united cause they're still one of the best for
    seat-out hops... It's too bad though cause I had these two lines that I
    finally got my guts together to do and I was planning on filming them...
    Both big-drop scenes one of them form a balcony and "perhaps" over a
    pine tree another was a drop from a tool-shed and over a fence or onto
    it...

    I'll see what I can do.
