  1. http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=823

    I managed to break my saddle and am in the market for a new one.
    Wondering if anyone has tried this one.

    Thanks,

    Walt

  2. It's pictured with the older style KH handle though. Is UDC just out of
    date?

  3. I've used it and I think it's the best production seat on the market at
    the moment. The KH saddles have WAY too much foam in them. This is
    more comfortable and less bulky than the KH.

  6. Like GizmoDuck said, but I've been using the 'UDC gel' seat and like it.
    I've never used the KH gel, but I think it's the same a the UDC gel.

  7. I realllllly like my new KH fusion seat (it's similar in profile to the
    gel, just with slim foam that's really comfortable)

    the foam is softer than in a normal fusion, and it's a thinner profile
    for seat out

    my favorite thing about it is that it is naturally tilted back w/o a
    rails bracket, which is great on a trials uni

    it also feels much stiffer than the normal fusion

    😄 i like it a lot

    p.s. don't know if UDC has it, i got mine from Darren on my new KH
    trials that i got last week

  8. I've lost a couple o' bolts off mine too, loctite is probably the
    answer.

    But yeah it's a good seat, especially for those of us who can't be
    bothered doing airseat conversions. I always knock the valve clean off
    on airseats anyway.

    What do you men older style KH handle? the new handle has ribs which
    those probably have, but you wouldn't be able to see from that photo,
    what else has changed?

    doesnt look like it here, you can even see the rib things in the pic.

    good seat by the way... i recommend them to anyone. stiffer, smaller,
    comfier, better. plus if you do manage to land wrong it will still bend
    and not bend you.

  11. I see that this is a good saddle for trials and seat out hopping. But.
    is it good for riding distance, or not?

  12. Aside from the obvious thickness difference compared to the KH fusion,
    the gel saddle feels a bit wider in the narrowest part. I'm not sure
    which I prefer for long distance. I still haven't found a setup that
    works for more than 6-7 miles.

    The new KH fusion shape is much more similar in shape to the gel now,
    thinner foam and feels stiffer. Works alright for distance, although
    I've only done about a hundred miles on it (it's on my muni), I've done
    one 30+ mile hard muni ride and it was good.

    I'm liking my 'modified trimmed down KH Fusion with the channel cut'
    (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Airseat) (scroll down to the bottom).
    Works well for Coker riding. I have only done a couple of 20-30 mile
    Coker rides with it, but it has been much more comfortable than my
    previous air saddle for long rides. For short rides less than 10 miles
    the air seat was more comfy, but over 10 miles the modified foam seat
    is better, much better.

    Keep in mind that what is comfortable for muni may not be comfortable
    for Coker riding. You sit on a muni seat and Coker seat differently,
    so what works well for one may not work well for the other. I still
    use my air seat for muni and have no complaints (other than when the
    tube goes flat during a ride).

    it's 4 months old and I think it's still interesting to see what people
    think about the gel seat.

  18. I love it !!!

    It's very comfortable. Seems to similar to KH Gel and Koxx Gel. Koxx
    has different stitching only and maybe the Koxx is a bit more
    comfortable but that could be a subjective impression cause mine are in
    different use so they maybe different in becoming softer. Stitching on
    KH Gel and UDC is maybe more clever than on the Koxx one but only from
    thinking about, I never feel the stitching on the Koxx 🙂
    I never test both on a long ride, only over maybe a half hour or one
    hour of riding in one peace.
