Check with Darren Bedford. But seriously, they are the same as the
Torker LX.

EDIT: or get the one Jag is selling. It has a much better handle and
comes with the rail adapter.

They still have the 'Torker LX saddle'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=777) which is pretty
much a Miyata. Same shape. Same general design.

It is good that the Miyata saddles are gone. The last batch was less
than good. They moved the manufacturing to China and the quality went
downhill. The plastic used for the handles and bumpers was softer and
would split or rip. They changed the hardware setup in the saddle which
caused the bolts to spin when you try to loosen or tighten the nuts
under the seat. Things were not good. The old Miyata saddles were made
in Japan and were of much better quality. Hopefully the next batch will
be better than the last batch.

...the Miyata ...The last batch ...the handles and bumpers ...would
split ...the bolts to spin ...Things were not good. *

So, can I understand that with the Torker LX saddle, the D*MN bolts
don't strip and spin so easily?

Not necessarily. I have never taken a Torker LX seat apart so I don't
know what they have done with the hardware inside. Someone who has
taken the Torker LX seat apart will have to comment about the build
quality of the seat.

ive taken an LX apart..its basicly the same as the chinese made Miyata's
with one big differance. there isnt any of that thread lock stuff so
getting the bolts loose isnt a problem.

its same story with the carridge bolts bedding in a square plastic hole
so dont over tighten or you will round them out. i would say that the
plastic seat base is noticably stronger and stiffer than the crappy
chinese Miyata version seats.

Bedford Unicycles has green Miyata seats in stock.
I have a box of seats without posts.

These have the U bolt in them like the Japanese seats did.

I haven't taken a close look at one of the Torker seats. When I saw one
in a bike shop I just thought it was a great step forward for
lower-priced unicycles, but I assumed it was from the same factory.

So Jagur, are you pretty sure the bases are different between the Torker
and recent-made (Chinese) Miyata seats? That would be cool, as it
suggests there may be two or more sources of these seats. It always
sucks when they run out. But at least these days, we have alternate
choices.
