  1. Which saddle would be most comfortable for a man? KH, miayata(sp?), w/
    air conversion or not? Maybe a KH fussion with some of the foam cut out?

  3. the most comfortable seat you can buy is a KH saddle. but if you REALLY
    want comfyness, buy a Miyata and convert it into an airsaddle.

    can you make an airsaddle with a KH seat?

  4. The KH is great. I haven't tried any others.

  5. I think you have to try different saddles and see what works best for
    you. I find that the KH is comfortable as long as my butt is planted on
    it, but when I sit down my nuts sometimes get crushed. I prefer the
    Miyata air saddle.

    i was considering doing this.......has anyone tried it? is it any less
    bulky for holding seat out? is it worth the extra money to get the air
    pillow?

    thanx

    Talk to Joe Dyson...he converted his KH Fusion into and air saddle. It
    worked out well, I've ridden it and it was really comfy, and definatley
    less bulky.

  9. Mike Middleton has converted two KH (pre-fusion) saddles to airseats,
    and they worked great, right up until he snapped the seatbases in half.
    He then got a fusion seatcover to go with his KH cf base, and it's
    working great.

    I use an old scrap KH seatcover, lots of duct tape, some carved KH foam,
    and a Miyata cf base for a saddle, and it's great. Not the prettiest
    thing, but I don't care.

    I don't use an airseat because mine always seem to pop. With that said,
    I find the comfiest saddles for seat out are airseats that have gone
    flat.

    Either way, you should pad the side of the seatbase with some cut open
    tubing of sorts, sincer otherwise it will cut into your fingers during
    seat out.

  10. well i think it also depends on what style hes doing. if hes doing muni
    or trials then i would not recommend a air seat but if hes just riding
    normaly without lifting of the seat then the comfiest has to be a air
    seat

    that's true. here's what I think about saddles for different riding
    styles:
    Trials: KH or Miyata
    MUni: KH
    Freestyle: Miyata
    Distance: Miyata or KH air saddle
    at the moment, that's all I can think of....

  14. i love my air seat for muni. also, get a stiffener plate if you plan on
    doing anything that resembles hopping, or steep downhills. completely
    worth it. once i get an actual trials uni, i'll probably run a thinner
    seat than my air seat but for trials on the muni the air seat does
    alright.

    Darren Bedford has them, as does unicycle.com. Unicycle.com has it as an
    option on style. Look at the link:
