My first Airseat

pdc · 2005-03-02T16:32:01+00:00

I've just completed the Air Seat for my new Coker (due in from Darren soon). [image: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Phils-Gallery/Complete_Air_Seat_Back] I started with the Viscount saddle that came with my Summit. I thought it would work well with the GB4 handle because of the heavy metal bottom plate. I started by cutting the foam with a razor knife and then using a hacksaw blade. I left all the foam in the very front. [image: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Phils-Gallery/Foam_Cut] Bolted on the GB4 handle. [image: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Phils-Gallery/GB4] [image: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Phils-Gallery/Bottom] I used a UDC airbag with a 20" x 1.75" tube folded nearly in half. [image: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Phils-Gallery/Air_Bag] I decided to add a Smallish gel pad I found at Walmart. [image: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Phils-Gallery/Air_Bag_With_Gel_Pad] Stretched the Fusion saddle cover over and voila. Start to finish about 30 minutes. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Attachment filename: complete air seat front.jpg | |Download attachment: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/284072| +----------------------------------------------------------------+ -- pdc - self proclaimed Level 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pdc's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8160 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/38644

The first six photos won't load. However the final photo of the
complete seat looks great! Very nice job! 🙂

Hey that looks good. How does it feel?
You should get a back bumper on that if you didnt already. I wouldnt
want youre cover to rip after a fall.

I used a UDC airbag with a 20" x 1.75" tube folded nearly in half.

I dont see the UDC airbag on unicycle.com at all. Am I missing
something?
