  1. I was trying for doubles, and was really close, hitting the pedals
    every so often, thought i had it once, but the seat snapped on me.
    Anyone know it itll work if my dad welds it, then some cheap places for
    unicycle seats?😕 🙁

  5. if you snapped the stiffener ( i think you did ) then you can make a new
    one and replace it with th broken one. ie. take out the broken one,
    duplicate it and ur sweet.

  6. yea we broke that thingy lol. My dad just welded it on with a nice
    peice of steel or something. He says i can ride it tomarrow, and it
    should be stronger than ever if everthing goes as planned. So i cant
    wait. Thx.

  7. shoot, the weld on it doesnt work, i can just do stuff out in front like
    hickflips, so i wont be learning backflips or doubles soon. So i still
    need a seat, wht are good seats, like the ones on unicyclist.com for 24
    bucks, are they good seats? i just need a low priced like 30 dollors or
    so, that is a good seat, or does anyone know anyother plalces i can
    buy one, im going to go look on ebay now.🙁

    nope

    you could get a kh street, but you'd jsut break it again.

    if you can afford it, go cf, if not, get a viscount, and put a handle
    on it.

  12. I don't believe they sell just the stiffener, but believe me, once you
    have the ability to break one, you will continue breaking it if you
    just get the same thing. I've broken three, so now I've switched to the
    carbon fiber, and I love it. It's very, very stiff.

    'This' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=259) is a
    seatbase made of carbon fibre instead of the steel/plastic you have
    now. You use the handle bumper foam and cover from your old seat and
    replace the broken base with this. It's much stronger and stiffer than
    standard seat bases.

  16. Carbon Fiber isn't about cheap. Carbon Fiber is about Good.

    It should last long enough that it is cheaper in the long run.

    It must've been a bad welding job... I fixed the stiffener in an old
    broken KH seat over a year ago and it's still in use today. I didn't
    even use another piece of metal... I just ground the stiffener at the
    break to get a smooth seam and ran a bead right across it. Cake!
