LX handle

You'd think seat parts would be made a little stronger, but they are
subject to a lot of stress. As shadowuni says, "Everything should be
made of strongerthansteelium." I just broke the back bumper on my KH
saddle (I had this clever idea that I could push the seat out in back so
that it drops right into seat drag. I could, but when I did it about the
fifth time, I heard a crack as the bumper hit the cement. I'm trying
Krazy Glue as a temporary fix until I can figure out where to get a new
one.), and unicycle.com doesn't sell replacements, so it's a really big
problem. You can order new LX handles from unicycle.com, though.

Torker LX handles are not made to last. Here's one way to make it
stonger:

Though, it's not much help since your is already broken.

The other easy fix is to get a a Kinport handle. These are made of very
stong plastics and they last much longer then the stock LX handles.

Unfortunately that fix does not work on the Torker LX handles; their
plastic is too brittle. Tried it; didn't work. It just splits. In
that sense the newer, softer Miyata handles were far better because
although they tore, the fix worked well and they were not brittle upon
impact. So the Torker handle is a step backwards from the
much-maligned newer Miyatas.

The Kinports are the way to go.

Yeah, the lx saddles are very very weak, get the newer torker saddle the
dx, or a K.h.
