  1. I'm looking to buy a new saddle. What do people think is probably the
    best saddle out there for all around riding (mainly MUni). I've
    gotten the impression that the KH saddle is pretty good, but I haven't
    heard too much about it...

  2. I have the KH saddle. It is a pretty good saddle but it makes your hand
    sore from seat out jumping. My friend has the new Torker saddle and it
    is about the same. Kelly.

    My goal is for people to start to see unicycling as an extreme sport and
    forget about the circus.

  3. 1. Miyata with air. This can either be done by hand, or purchased
    premade by Unicycle.com. The plain Miyata seat is a good design, but not
    nearly as comfortable as the KH.

    2. KH/Velo, no modifications needed!

    NOTE: each crotch is different. Whether or not the above is the general
    consensus of the unicycling community here, your own preferences may
    vary.

  4. I'd recommend the KH for MUni and other long-distance riding, and the
    Miyata for street/trick and other short-distance riding. That's how the
    pros seem to do it anyway.

  5. 1. KH Carbon Seatbase, with KH foam padding transplanted. Will probably
    be better with less foam. (+/-) Reeder/phallic handles

    2. KH standard seat

    3. Carbon fibre Airseat- either miyata or KH

    4. KH carbon fibre seatbase with foam strips

    5. Miyata standard seat

  6. KH or miyata air seat. you can buy some really nice seats from
    unicycle.com but they're big figures.

  7. Viscount, heavy, bumpers poorly attached, but reasonably comfortable. I
    have Viscounts on most of my unis, and have often managed an hour in the
    saddle without a stop. However, after an hour or so, it starts to get a
    bit uncomfortable.

    Miyata: I have a standard (non-air) Miyata on my 28. Good for 40
    minutes or so. It's surprisingly comfortable until it stops being
    comfortable, if you see what I mean. It has the advantage of being
    light, with well attached bumpers and a reasonable built in handle.

    Velo: I had a Velo and couldn't get on with it. The padding is deep
    and soft, but there seems to be too much of it, and in the wrong places.
    On a long ride, my goolies would float to the surface, causing
    discomfort. The Velo is well made, with good solid bumpers.
