Profile spacer I.D. and O.D./ CF Seatbases.

I can't answer the question about the profiles but yes CF bases are
really good. There was no change to the base design in the new freeride
seat therefore the old CF bases will fit it.

CF bases weigh less than the plastic base and they remove the need to
use the heavy steel reinforcement plate. They are also way stronger
than both the plastic and the plate so the odds of you breaking it are
pretty damn slim. Ass for curve the new freeride has less curve visualy
but tahts because the ends are chopped and the middle is raised a bit,
so if you are sitting on it, I don't know whether or not you would feel
the curve. Best to try one out first if possible. Either way its way
more comfy than a standard KH seat from previous times.

What is the exact "new" size of the spacers on a profile hub? I.D. and
O.D. would be great. I'm thinking of getting some made out of steel
because the aluminum deforms too easily. I believe mine were 1/8 thick
but they are pretty squished by now.

The advertised thickness of the spacers are 1/8" for the thick ones and
1/16" for the thin ones.

You can buy replacement spacers from unicycle.com, Bedford, or any
other retailers that carry Profile. 'Dan's Comp has them'
(http://www.danscomp.com/455066.php?cat=PARTS) on their web store for
59 cents each (plus S&H). Next time you order something from UDC ask
them for a few extra Profile spacers as well. That way you don't pay
S&H just for the spacers.

I keep a few extra spacers on hand so I can replace damaged ones
if/when necessary.

"Ass for the curve" Is that a Freudian slip?!

Hah I totaly didn't notice that, completely accidental, yet quite
amusing. I suppose it must have been a Freudian slip.

Yeah, I know they are 1/8 in. thick, I was just wondering if anyone
knows what the I.D. and O.D. are supposed to be. I want to have some
made out of steel instead of buying new aluminum ones.

Well the axle diameter is listed on UDC as 3/4'' or 19.05mm. So a little
bigger than that would work for the ID. The OD can really be anything.
And since you are just spacing the hub sideways, I don't think you need
to get too precise. Any looseness will be eliminated by the clamping
force exerted by the crank bolt.

Edit: Oh, CF. CF will change your life. It is that good.
