  1. Pretty cool! Ups just delivered my brand-spankin' new KH Trials just
    moments ago and I was SHOCKED, shocked at the super-size box it was
    shipped in!!!

    The uni was packed with everything on, including the seat at its
    highest possible position! It was sandwiched between super thick foam,
    some of which became "fused" to the fusion seat cover...good name for
    it haha!

    Brand new and perfect condition! Cost: $365. That's almost $140 *less*
    than UDC. 🙂 Too bad I probably won't ride it that much🙁.

  3. Anybody know the best way to remove foam from a fusion saddle?? There
    was some packing foam apparently partially glued to the saddle and now
    I can't get the remaining "residue" off , which is what what left when
    the main part of the foam was removed.

    It can't be "peeled" off because all that's remaining is mostly the
    adhesive part with only the thinnest coating of foam particles on top
    of that. I tried paint thinner, acetone (I was worried about trying
    that) and soaking it with a hot, wet rag; no luck. Doesn't seem to want
    to come off.

    I suspect that by simply riding it for a good week or two it will come
    off from friction, but I'd like to get it off now so if anyone has
    suggestions I'd appreciate it!😄

  4. try "goof off" or "goo b gone"...they're great adhesive removers you can
    get at any hardware store.

  6. Why don't you contact the people you bought it from and ask them to fix
    it or send you a replacement saddle. They will probably be glad to be
    warned about the saddles getting marked by the packaging foam before
    they send more unicycles out and get loads of complaints (unless you
    didn't buy it new then ignore what I just said)

    That stuff has preformed very well for me, just time consuming to scrub
    large areas of adhesive off of somthing..

    But the new KH looks very nice, congrats on the nice price 🙂

    Where did you get it from? And as it's not UDC, how come it has a UDC
    sticker on the inside of the fork?

  16. Did you put the acetone on a rag then onto the saddle? you should pour
    the acetone directly onto the cover. Dont be afraid to use a lot, its
    cheap.

    I put it on the rag first then rubbed. I was afraid I would damage the
    cover (vinyl) if I poured it directly on the cover. Even if applied
    with a rag...and I pretty much soaked the rag with it...it should have
    at least removed *some* of the residue, but it didn't remove even the
    smallest amount. That's some amazingly nasty s#@t on there!:eek:

  18. Try a Citrus Solvent. They use it to remove adhesive and wax(I use it
    on skis). Also, would like the seat smelling lemony fresh instead of
    like ass!! Be careful with acetone, could wreck the cover.

  19. I wouldn't recommend pouring acetone directly onto anything. If pure
    acetone isn't breaking it down you're probably going to just have to
    ride it off =( I put down some wood flooring yesterday and didn't wear
    gloves...I can't get the glue off my hands, even after goof off, 100%
    acetone, mineral spirits. My poor hands! =(
