My new KH trials just arrived! (pic)

[MuniAddict]

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:(.

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!:D

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

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 :)

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:

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.

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! =(

Looks good, Terry. Mine arrived this morning from Darren at Bedford, no
problems with the seat though. ;)

Weird trying to ride this after learning on a 24 and riding a 29 for
the last 2 weeks. Hopping is a lot easier than on the 24, but maybe
I'm just getting a little better.

So what are you bringing to Moab? Since I'm flying in, I'm only
bringing the KH24 with me.

Good luck with the seat cover. I think it will wear off in no time.

I got most of the residue off, but it's kinda funky looking now, but
will serve well. I'm bringing my KH 24" Muni, and just clothes and
supplies. I plan on getting there on Monday so I can have the whole
week to sightsee and ride around and get a feel for the trail(s).:D If
anyone else will be there early too let me know so maybe we can ride!

I eneded up using good ol' sandpaper! Little by little it took it all
off, but the acetone (used earlier) dissolved the seams on one
side!:eek: I don't know what's keeping it together but it still holding
up...so far, with the cover back on the saddle.

Try naptha it is sold as laquer thinner and also comes as a product
called Energine but its cheaper in the paint department.

I use it to get tar and bubble gum out of carpet. It doesn't harm the
carpet fiber and it works great. On gum that has been ground into
carpet and walked on for months all you have to do is pour a little bit
on the gum. Wait a minute then pick at it with a screwdriver and it
comes right up without a trace.

use rubber gloves and try not to breath the fumes it is realy bad for

Well I already sent an email to the seller (a salvage and freight
recovery company) in the hopes that they will either replace it, or
reimburse the replacement cost, which I believe is $19 via UDC. But
they (UDC) don't seem to carry the same fusion cover specifically for
the '07 trials, which is definitley *not* the same cover as the one for
the MUni.

Also the '07 trials cover has the KH logo on the *top* back of the
cover, not on the knit part on the back side, but embossed into the
vinyl. But I'm pretty sure that the standard fusion cover would still
fit, though I may be wring aboot that! :rolleyes:

They might still have them though even though they have the generic
cover on the site. I am pretty sure Darren has them too.
