  1. So I have had an CF Airseat for a while now, I like it alot for muni,
    but would like to try something without the bulk and move it over to my
    Trials Uni. I'm thinking about buying foam to make a 1.5-2.5" pad to put
    down over the carbon fiber. The only problem is I know little to nothing
    about different types of foam. I know that I want to get closed cell
    foam but that is about it.

    I called a few places up today and they recomended me a procuct called
    Poron Foam

    Quoted message said:

    PORON urethanes are flexible, high density, microcellular products
    that offer design engineers many outstanding features. PORON
    products maintain excellent resistance to compression set (collapse),
    exhibit high resiliency, good vibration damping and impact absorption.
    Parts made from PORON urethanes continue to perform after constant
    and repeated deflection. Components will not loosen, and gasketing
    integrity will be maintained. (- from Rogers Corporation Website - )

    It seems like this stuff might be worth a try, I requested a sample of
    the material to see if its worth buying a chunk of.

    Does anyone know of any other places to get good quality foam, or have
    any advice on using foam with a CF seatbase?

    Cheers Mike

  3. Is it possible to buy just the foam that's used in a KH/Velo seat?

    Koxx-One has the slimmer Velo design with both foam and gel. UDC UK has
    the slimmer design with gel. Is the foam for either of those available
    separately?

    If you get the thick KH foam you could cut it down to half height.
    Electric carving knives or bandsaws do a good job of cutting foam.
