    I was looking at buying the used Dan Heaton frame and a Koxx1 White
    widow seat..

    Will the Frame fit on a 20" DX and is it strong and light?
    Does the seat fit on the DX seatpost or will I need to buy a new one?
    And Is the seat good and thin? (I was thinking of buying a Kh street
    saddle for SIF, but I came by this one)

    Is this a good idea all together?

    Thanks! 😄

    Also, does the KH seat fit on a dx seatpost? Or do all seats have
    different posts...

    I would suggest you get the KH fusion street saddle. Having the
    removeable cover is realy great. If you break your stiffner and need to
    fix it or if you want to upgrade to a CF base It makes it realy quick
    and easy to get your seat apart.

    I can answer you one question here. Koxx saddles are awesome😄 Nice and
    thin, but still comfortable, not to mention the looks😉

    KH seats are near enough exactly the same as K1 just different covers.
    You need to decide wether you would rather have a seat cover that looks
    "better" or be able to easily remove your cover so that when you break
    your stiffner you can fix it or upgrade your base to CF.

    Okay you will need a new seatpost if you get the frame...and am not
    possitive it will fit because DXs have funny sizing...but some Koxx
    frames dont fit a regular size so the frame might fit? But im not
    sure....

    And the seat would be great....Because it looks great...and you wont
    break it for a while if you do...Ive got a KH Fusion Street and I
    havent broke it yet....It works great...So the seat would definatly be
    good.

    What If I only got the seat.. Would I need to get a new seatpost? Or do
    all seats use the same post?

    And I read that the frame uses a max 2.5 tire.. whats the DX size?

    You mentioned the 20" DX, which hasnt been made for years, so I am
    assuming your are talking about the 19" trials DX.

    The DX uses a 2.5" Maxxis creepy crawler.

    The DX and Koxx unicycles use a standard velo base. Koxx uses 27.2mm
    post size, and the DX uses a 25.4 post size, but the bolt pattern will
    be the same. So you would need to buy a new seat post to fit in the
    Koxx frame. They are cheap though. Only about $20. I dont know what the
    guy above was saying about DX having weird post sizes. 25.4 is a very
    standard size for seatposts.

    The frame though, uses 42mm bearing holders, and the DX uses 40mm
    bearings. You will have to shim your bearings to get them to fit the
    frame.

    The seat is thin, and id rather go with a KH cover so you could take it
    off and on easily, as mentioned above. Both seats are thin, curved, and
    comfy.
