  1. Hey all!

    I just ordered a rail adaptor from UDC for my muni. What are you
    opinions on them? Worth the money? Do they make a difference? I am
    going to use a Shadow conspiricy 'lean' seatpost with it.

    Thanks!

    Rock on!

    I've got one muni with, one without a rail adapter. The rail adapter
    one is angled back more. Can't say I notice much difference, they're
    both KH seats, both equally comfy. The rail adapter felt funny at
    first, but now I'm used to the handle being at a funny angle it doesn't
    feel much different at all. I don't like the rail adapter angled seat
    it so much for hopping, but I don't hop much on that uni. Not going to
    bother upgrading my other muni, cos it doesn't seem to make much
    difference, I think a carbon seatbase would make way more difference.

  3. It may or may not be public information, but it seems that the up-coming
    -in August - UDC 36" Nimbus will have a new uber-rail seat thing, with
    built-in GB4 style handles and rear pushing handle/rack. I'm not keen
    to get new angles, but love the idea of a longer, rigid handle and
    luggage space...

    Let's just say I've never coveted a seat bracket before.

  5. I find rail adaptors to be a big help with comfort. So much so that when
    I ride a KH saddle without one now I really notice the difference. It
    could just be my body shape but I find riding without a rail adaptor so
    much less comfortable.

    I think now I'm used to the angle of the handle (not dangle) with a
    rail adaptor I prefer the position for rolling and sif hops.

  6. I love rails. I have 'em on my KH, and they make riding a lot more
    comfortable, so much that I don't like riding other people's non-tilted
    seats. for trials the difference is negligible, but for long MUni rides
    there's nothing better.

  8. Thanks for the useful replies everyone, it arrived THIS MORNING! Dam ,
    UDC are quick, theyv'e got this mail order malarchy down!

    I will be fitting it to my muni so I was looking for comfort over
    anything else. Now I need to wait for my seatpost to arrive (from a
    different shop) so I can whack it all together and test it!

    Rock on!
