Muni And Street Saddles

I have a KH Street (cuz I have a KH) and it is quite the awesomeness. My
beginner uni has a thick padded Axiom saddle (apparently it's on the
older KHs) and when I sat on the KH Street, I felt much more
comfortable and was surprize at how much comfort there was on the
thinly padded KH.
I'm thinking of carving the foam in my Axiom down to make it more of a
street saddle. I should probably follow one of the tutorials...

I've almost decided which saddles to get! 😄

I decided I dont wanna keep the viscount saddle on my Muni because
theres no handle 🙁 So... I need a seat for my 24" Muni And my 20"
street trials uni...
Which saddles should I get?
3 saddles that I've been looking at are the
'Kris Holm Fusion Freeride Saddle'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=952)
'Kris Holm Fusion Street Gel Saddle'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=953)
or
'Nimbus Gel Saddle'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=823)
Im trying not to think about the prices because I just want to get
whats best for me 😄

*(And I dont think I want a CF base)*

Thanks

I think you should get the fusion street for your trials and the fusion
freeride for your muni. I thought that when I started riding and now I
have one, once you break your sadlle (which you will if you ride hard)
you will need/want one.

I find it significantly more comfortable than the street fusion. I had
an extra fusion cover so when I upgraded to my CF base I was able to
make use of my nimbus gel foam.

I think it'll get to the point of where you have to flip a coin to
decide.

Because i've tried both and i couldn't decide myself on which 1 was
better. 😄

I would not trust polls to represent answers from people who know what
they are talking about. I did not vote because I have not tried either
of the street saddles. I do have two modified (old) KH saddles and a
Fusion Freeride.

Reading the replies it looks like of the people who have chimed in only
mornish and Det-roit have used both the KH and Nimbus saddles. You
could try to ask them why they like one over the other. That should
give you a much better insight as to which saddle is better than
waiting for 25 random people to vote.

My advice is to get the Freeride for your MUni and cut down the foam on
your DX for a street saddle. Modifying a saddle foam is really not hard
at all as long as your tools are sharp and you are able to think
outside of the box a little bit.

Just to clear up, i've ridden both...

I recommend the nimbus gel if you plan to do -any- riding more than 3/4
mile just around to trials spots, as eventually the street fusion will
start to hurt - unless of course you ride constantly trials!

People will probably say that the Fusion street is good for SIF as it's
flatter with thinner foam.
