hey everyone. I broke my kh saddle's stiffener plate recently. I was
really tired of breaking my seats, so my parents finally let me order a
cf seat base yesterday. But, today I got a call from UDC saying that
they just realized that they were out of the cf(gemcrest) bases.:mad: .
So I decided to make the best of my decision and try something. My dad
has a 24" Schwinn uni with a steel seat base. I had heard of people
converting these bases to there newer unis, which was enough to inspire
me to venture into our our 120 degree attic, and find said unicycle. I
finally found the uni, and was ready to try converting. First, I took
the seat off the Schwinn and took apart the seat and got the base. I
then took apart my kh seat and got the pieces that I needed (foam,
bumper, handle, fusion cover). THen, i tried to fit the steel base into
the foam the best I could, and it fit surprisingly well. the foam was a
half inch too short for the base, so I stretched the foam out as much
as possible and duct taped it to keep it in place for when I was going
to put the cover on. I then put the cover on, and I thought it looked
really good. I rode it foe a little bit and it feels a lot more solid
with tricks like sideways ww. All i need to do now is wait for my dad
to get home so I can drill the base and put the handle and bumper on(i
will post pics of that later.)
heres some pics of the stuff I was talking about.
