    whilst rolling hopping a 50cm ledge, the flex in the KH saddle happened
    to rip the seat off the plate inside, which creates an extreme amount of
    flex, and i can pull the seat at least 2cm away from the top of the seat
    post. has anyone else had this problem? heres some photos...and now i
    have to fork out $NZ100 for a new one 🙁

    Blimey, I've snapped 3 KH seats, but not all the way through the
    plastic, tho you're farfrom the only one to do it. If you've done that,
    see if uni.com NZ have KH carbon fibre bases or if they'll order them,
    cuz that's as tough as seat bases get at the minute. You can use your
    old handle and bumper and foam and will just need a cover unless you
    want to glue theold one to the base.

    according to Kris, they have 2 reinforcement plates that are 20% thicker
    than the older models (older models have one plate), so he says they
    should be a lot stronger than an old model like mine

    You don't need a new seat, that's the point!

    You want me to order an extra one when I put my order through?

    Like I said- they don't flex at all if my Miyata carbon seatbase is
    anything to go by. Maybe try transplanting the old seat cover or try
    making your own to make it cheaper?
