Gel Saddle versus KH Fusion?

they are good for ditance. But I've used a modified kh seat and I find
this better. I haven't tried the fusion but I think it would be better.

They are expensive because they use only the finest soft drink cans.

I just used that saddle in a 25 mile bikathon on my uni, its very comfy
though you may also want to look at: http://tinyurl.com/2p3s97

As for the gel saddle, the whole cushion isn't gel. Its just an area on
the front of the seat which is 'gel' and it doesn't go all the way to
the plastic base, its just really a patch of softer foam.

We only need one 36" rim, one that doesn't suck. A properly sized KH rim
(like the 29er only larger) would be awesome.

Or better yet, a fusion freeride converted to an air seat, with duct
tape enhancements.

1. air seats are horrible for most people for distance.

2. the freeride fusion part makes no difrence; you taking out the foam
and replacing it with air...

personally, i find air seats too squishy and shifty, also, they are so
horrible when they get flats. total ride ruiner

I have really struggled to find a comfortable seat and overal, for
distance, it's the Fusion Freeride.

I have:
Torker DX - Not flat enough and I go numb pretty fast. Easier to hold
for SIF than KH air.

Nimbus Gel. The easiest to hold onto for SIF, but I go numb after
30-40 minutes of riding w/o breaks.

Fusion Freeride - overal the most comfortable, esp. on smooth terrain,
but my but and back get sore from drops. Not as easy to hold for SIF
as the DX, the top surface and squishy foam makes it squirm in my
hand.

KH air - I swiched the tubes from a 20X1.75 to a 20X2.5, I think I
whent a bit too big of a tube. It took forever and many attempts to
get it on just right both is rather comfortable and absorbs the impact
from bumps and drops well. I like it at 4.5 psi the best, but it's
rounded instead of having two nice ridges for my sit bones. The
hardest to hold onto for SIF. Mainly do to the thickness, but also do
to the squishyness.

What I think the perfect saddle would be:

KH air - 20X1.75" or 2.00" tube and a .5 inch thick foam cut too match
the whole area of the seat w/ a .5 -1 inch strip down the middle
missing from the foam.

...the KH Fusion Saddle I have just broken:P

Any handy tips? does anyone have one similar? does gel wear out much
faster than the other forms of padding?

If the base isn't completely broken you may want a 'stiffener plate'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=607) or a 'CF '
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=259)base (couldn't
find either on the Aus. site) You should still get one of these even
if you completely broke the base and ruined the foam, since you will
eventually break the base of whatever replacement seat w/o them.
