  1. Help, I have a Coker with a KH saddle on it. I was tightening the nuts
    that hold the seat to the post and broke one off.

    What is the best/only way to fix this. Will I be able to undo the seat
    cover, pull the old bolt out and replace it with a new one and then
    finally get the seat cover firmly attached again???

    And I am thinking to myself, perhaps I should replace all 4 with
    stainless steel, high grade, so this does not happen to me again.

    Any Ideas or pics on this process. Perhaps now might be the time to try
    air seat conversion, but I really do not want to screw something up. It
    is finally spring here and I just want to ride. I went 12 miles
    yesterday on the bike trail. I love it.

    Thanks for your help.

  2. Whenever I put my KH seat on a post, I use a nut driver rather than a
    wrench, and that has avoided the dreaded seat wiggle. None of my bolts
    have started spinning, but I have had one that loosens on it's own.
    Otherwise, it's really solid, even with hard coker-scale falls.

  3. My dad has a saying:

    "That's why they put 4 bolts in it -- because 3 will hold it."

    He's right. Three will hold it.

  4. I can't believe that many people only ride around on 3 bolts.

    I really hate to take the cover off not knowing if I will ever be able
    to use it again!!!

    You can buy just the Fusion seat cover as a replacement.

    You can pull the staples out of the old cover and take the old cover
    off. Then you'll be able to get at the insides of the seat to fix the
    bolt. Then replace the old cover with the Fusion cover. That way you
    won't have to deal with stapling and gluing the old cover back on. The
    Fusion cover slips on and then has a loop of string to cinch it. A
    replacement Fusion cover is $19 at Unicycle.com.

    The potential problem is that the Fusion saddle is a little bit narrower
    up front so the Fusion cover might be a little bit snug up at the nose
    of the saddle (near the handle). If you have to you could shave some of
    the foam down to make room.

    If it comes to that, don't forget the related sage advice, also from
    John Childs: "Use an electric carving knife to trim the foam. Electric
    carving knives are great for trimming foam."

    I tried to take his advice, but the decades-old electric carving knife I
    inherited from my parents finally broke. Instead, I had to hack my way
    through with a bread knife. NOT the easiest process.
