  1. I have a question about saddles. I am planning on getting a Nimbus ISIS
    Trials and I'm upgrading the cranks to KH Moments. I was wondering if I
    should get a saddle upgrade also? So if anyone thinks that it would be
    worth it to upgrade to a different saddle please tell.

    Thanks,
    Cody

  3. have them switch it to a KH fusion street seat.

    they are much better in my opinion.

    if you can afford it definantly get a carbon base.

  6. If you're only doing trials, don't worry about the seat so much. You
    won't be sitting on it very much, and when you get to riding SIF,
    you'll be sitting on it even less.

    I believe the only advantage you'd get by switching to the KH street
    saddle is a slimmer profile. This would be good if you have small
    hands, but then again, you could mod your Nimbus seat and get the same
    result.

  7. The KH street is a little easier to hold onto, but I hear not quite as
    comfortable as the Nimbus Gel, which in turn is easier and more
    comfortable than the Torker DX, and way more comfortable than the LX
    IMO.

    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.

    get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

  8. i say dont change the seat, my friend has a nimbus on his DX and i have
    a k1 orange bud seat on my uni(fyi almost exact same seat as KH) and
    the nimbus is much better for SIF and is more comfortable.

  12. cool. Are you getting any upgrades/changes on it? I'm getting 137mm kh
    moment cranks, steel seat post instead of aluminum, and plastic pedals
    so I don't tear my shins up to bad.

  13. I am not going to purchase anything with it until later on, but I plan
    to powdercoat the frame white, the rim neon green, the seat clamp
    matching the rim, and possibly a colored hub. Eventually I will get the
    cranks, (possibly within a couple days if I have the money and I am
    waiting for it to get powdercoated) and probably some snazzy colored
    pedals. Maybe a seat post. I don't know if it's really that worth it
    though (?). Which post are you getting? Can you link it on UDC?
    Thanks

    Maybe some tempurpedic foam in the seat for kicks (although that
    wouldn't be very useful for trials) and a custom seat cover.

    In my experience, I've found this foam useless for a unicycle seat.
    The foam seems to be of the open-cell type, which compresses completely
    flat when pressure is applied.

    Don't let me discourage you, though... if you haven't any nerves in
    your bum, or hate being comfortable, then go ahead and use the foam.

    If you make a custom cover, please post pictures... we love seeing
    custom seats here!

    Hrmm, that's interesting. Thanks for the tipoff. I actually got the
    idea from a motorcycle mod (they do this often from what I understand).
    Anyways it's a trials seat either way I wouldn't do it.

    I will definitely post pics of the custom cover...I will definitely
    make one sooner or later.
