  1. Just a quick question, does anyone know if the KH Fusion Saddle cover is
    any good for using as an air seat cover? if not, what else is there for
    a KH airseat cover?

  3. I don't know about the Fusion seat cover. I haven't tried it yet.
    Besides the Fusion cover your options are the Rocks Seat Cover from
    'Bedford Unicycles' (http://www.bedfordunicycles.ca/) and the Gemcrest
    seat covers at Unicycle.com. The Rocks Seat Cover is similar to the
    Roach seat covers of old.

  4. I've got two fusion covers both on Carbons seats but I use cut down foam
    rather than air. I see no reason why it wouldn't work as an airseat.
    The cover looks really durable and a better shape than the Roach cover I
    have on my airseat.

    I'm interested in cutting down my foam too. How much were you able to
    cut before the cover could no longer tighten nicely over the seat?
    Thanks.

    I cut it exactly in half and used the foam to make two separate
    Carbon/Foam/Fusion airseats. I had to trim a little bit extra off the
    edges since the foam was off one of my older generation KH seats with
    fatter edges.

    Sorry, not a very useful pic at all but here it is (half way down the
    page):
    http://www.adventureunicyclist.com/my_unicycles.htm
    It looks very much similar to a Koxx Gel seat, in terms of thickness.

    The reason I like the foam more than an airseat is that it is firmer and
    gives better control. It's still pretty comfortable. I think the KH
    seat is far too thick- after a couple of cm's of squish, the foam
    doesn't squish anymore anyway, no matter how thick your foam is. I'm
    really happy with my KH seats at the moment. It's lighter, stiffer, and
    there's less of it to get in the way compared with a Std KH seat. And
    it's less wobbly compared with an airseat.

    Good luck,

    Ken

    Old designs:

    Viscount - kh - air seat:
    http://tinyurl.com/448we
    KH - Air - Miyata:
    http://tinyurl.com/3rart

    I love the last one because of the cool shape and little weight!!

    Rigth now Im testing the Koxx - KH gel saddle with great feedback.

    I made may last air saddle with a fusion cover, I´ve upgraded that one
    with a single layer air pillow, i makes a perfect air saddle!! Stong and
    confi air saddle with handle, metal base and a great cover!! See the
    instructions here:

  9. GizmoDuck, what do you use to cut the foam? A utility knife?

    Thanks for mentioning that Ken. I have been concerned about the weight
    and rigidity of the KH Fusion seats, that puts my mind at ease a little
    more. Check out my latest thread to see what I'm talking about...huge
    muni upgrade! Yippee! 😄

  12. Andrew,

    The only thing fusion about my seat is the fusion cover. I can't speak
    for the rigidity of the seatbase because I'm using a carbon base. The
    guts of my fusion seat (ie foam) came off an old KH seat.

    Good luck with you project though 🙂

    Ken

    p/s Don't spend too much...you still need to take a holiday across the
    Tasman 😉

    for three expensive overseas trips last year)

    Very true. I'm sure the Fusion saddle will work out well anyway.

  15. i juast cut only about 3/4 of an inch off my fusion and it feels so much
    better for seat out. When you cut it you can shape it to you crotch too.
