    KH seat shape has changed just slightly.

    I bought my KH saddle about a year ago, a friend just got his the other
    day from unicycle.com (good bunch) along with a Nimbus II. There are the
    obvious differences in the design and material, but the shape of the new
    one is less rounded, and more comfortable.

    Is this just a manufacturing difference or have they altered the design
    slightly?

    Thanks,

    JJ

    This is a design change, meant to reduce chafing on the sides of your
    legs.

    previous design.

    Thanks Kris for letting me know.

    This is a hard question to answer because everytime Unicycle.com and
    Bedford Unicycles orders a new batch of saddles, I've improved them a
    little bit.

    That, by the way, is one of the differences between the KH-branded and
    the non-KH branded copies of the saddle. There are a lot of ways you
    can make the saddle for less money, such as by using a cheaper saddle
    cover fabric. For the KH branded saddles, because I use them too I
    want to ride on the best stuff so they tend to use the better quality
    materials, even though this makes them more expensive to make. The
    copies are OK in that some aspects are the same, such as the bumpers and
    the saddle frame.

    Current saddles (the ones in stock right now) are stiffer and stronger
    than previous versions and have a more durable saddle cover, with a more
    durable taiwanese-made (as opposed to chinese made) kevlar fabric on the
    front and rear panels. The foam is reduced in width by 15mm in the
    front, to reduce chafing, and is slightly softer than previous
    versions.
