I Hate Kris Holms Saddles

The newest seats are nice, with 2 different layers of foam that are
thinner, and they are stronger.
I havnt gotten my fingers stuck in the hole because I dont hold the
handle with my fingers through it.

And hes coming out with more sometime.

Didn't break em but made em all blueish for a couple days.

I hate miyata "style" seats, except for street and freestyle. KH style
seats are great, as long as you cut down the foam or something. I like
the KH handle. Never got my finger caught once, even with lots of one
handed seat in unispins.

I think the nimbsu gel seats are the best for overall riding. They are
-very- skinny, very comfy, and make freestyle alot easier.

1. Why does UDC put this saddle on EVERY uni? It really is not a very
good saddle for tricks, especially things like SIF, because the rear
part is so wide. I find it hard to pass between my legs.

I couldn't agree more.

Right now I have the LX seat on mine, and I like it way more than the
Kris Holm style ones for freestyle and trials. I'd like to try a gel
seat, though, it's probably the perfect mix of size and comfort.

I don't hate them, but I would not buy one for myself. They just don't
seem to agree with my anatomy. Miyata's don't either truly, but miyatas
are so customizable that I just adapt them to what I want.

hate is a hateful word.
Anyway, the questions.
It's probably on every unicycle because its the most popular seat. I
agree with you the back is too wide to be practical for seat in front,
but other than that it is a very good seat. It's comfortable, and once
it is in front it is easy to hold for seat in front. But if you do
want a different seat, you will find that UDC is very flexible.
As for the fingers getting stuck, I find my fingers fit in there easily
too, but to put them in there I would have to bend my wrist way over,
and it would be uncomfortable and hard. Just hold the handle
regularly, and there should be no problem....

I believe they're getting better. The stock KH saddle that came with my
KH29 a couple months ago is by far my favorite stock saddle--even
better than a KH gel.

I generally agree about the older KH saddle I have. The shape isn't
quite right even though the super thickness is just fine for a muni.

I like the KH for Muni because of it's bulk, it cradles your ass and
provides nice cuppage for the ballsack. Tilt it back like 45 degrees
and it's the perfect muni saddle.

I know a dude who put the KH handle on a bike down hill seat. I bet
thats awsome for sif. I had a little trouble at first cause I have
short legs.

Miyata saddles for the win. We really need these to be more available,
or someone just needs to copy the design. It's too hard to get your
hands on them, but they're the best saddle due to their shape and the
fact they are lightweight.

someone does copy the design, its the torker lx.

i would rather have an old style kh than any seat, but its hard to find
them now, i could go wit the dx seat.

oh, and, ther is no S in Kris Holm!

in terms of freestyle/street Koxx gel saddle isnt too bad, just been
looking at it recently.

it still wouldn't pull me away from my miyata though.

The Nimbus gel is the same thing as the Koxx gel but without costing so
much.

The newer (start of 2006) Kris Holm saddle is very similar in shape to
the gel saddles, except I think slightly narrower. Much lower profile
than the old KH and I think it's narrower at the back but I might be
wrong.

Whilst the KH seat is quite wide, I don't see any problem with getting
to riding seat out front, it's just a matter of standing up and pulling
it through. If you wear baggy trousers or big jeans or whatever while
riding, then moving to bike shorts or some kind of trousers that aren't
baggy makes way more of a difference than changing seats ever will.

As for the handle, you shouldn't be putting your fingers through the
hole, are you holding it in some funny way?

I think seat design is really where unicycle gear improvements needs to
happen. All the padding and gel upgrades in the world can't make up for
the deep-curved "u" design of the Velo 500 seat base that is on every
Kris Holm-styled seat. I'd love to see the crafty fabricators out there
in the unicycle world come up with better, less curved seats -
hopefully integrating some of the pressure-relieving technology that
big name seat makers like Specialized Bikes use. I'd love to build a
design myself, but I'm not handy enough with metal, carbon fiber, or
plastic.
