Broken DX Seat

Wait, so the whole bolt fell out, or was it just the acorn nuts that
crapped out on you?

If you wanted to, you can take the seat off the post, then remove the
staples from the cover, and then take off the foam from the seat. Leave
the cover on though, cause we arent doing anything to the foam.

Then from there you can look at the top of your base and you can see
what you need to do.

It isnt too hard, its just tedious to take the cover on and off and
replace all the staples.

I'm pretty sure that should come under warranty. I'm not sure how the
specific one you have works, but they is definitely a manufacturers
fault. Think about whether you want to return it before you take any of
it apart though.

Probably not.

It sounds like you may have broken the metal stiffener plate in it
which holds the bolts in plate allowing them to pull through.

Instead of buying a new seat, I'd reuse the foam and cover on a 'cf
base' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=259). If you
ride aggressively you'll eventually break the Nimbus base as well (what
you have sounds like a defect to me).

One of the bolts on my DX seat just spins, and one bolt on my Nimbus
gell seat sheared off. 3 on each seams to be enough for me though.

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.- Bob Burnquist
