i like the visount saddle. A strong durable seat that will last u quite
awhile. Not the most comphortable saddle but if u stick a reeder handle
onto it , it works really well for trials.

i find the kh seat ti be quite uncomphortable because its to thick , the
handle is good but they are really harsh on ur fingers for hopping with
the seat out.

I vote for the Kris Holm Velo seat, its very comfertable and very goid
for trials and muni, my second choice would be miyata, and for last
place goes the viscount- its hurts your gooch really bad, it may be
strong but not very comfertable

I like Kris Holm seats personally. They're much comfier than miyata
seats and I find them about as comfy as an airseat without the negatives
of air.

Although, I wouldn't say they're entirely durable. I reckon a KH seat
has about 1000 miles or so of hard riding in it. Which is okay if you
don't ride that much, but if you're doing a lot of distance riding it's
only a matter of weeks before they start creaking a bit and not quite
feeling perfect.

I think what makes me kill seats (other than the obvious things that
trials people do to them) is mostly pulling on the handle on hills with
a bit of dropping the seat while riding off road.

It's irritating, but until unicycle.uk.com starts selling a ready made
strong & comfortable seat, or I buy some power tools so I can make
myself a CF based seat I'm kind of stuck riding the KH seats as they're
the best I can get hold of.

The KH seat is tough on the fingers when the saddle's out front, I have
to agree but still I think better value than the Miyata and the best
standard seat you can buy! Obviously air seat conversions are going to
be the best for a lot of people, but then, so is anything you customize
for yourself!

*Slight* tangent here!
I recently snapped the metal strip inside one of my KHs, but everything
else is fine. Because of how I snapped the strip, two of my bolts just
turn with the nuts in the base, so I can't tighten them! So I'm going to
replace the strip with something strong and bolt a rail bracket on
before using a bandsaw to cut the foam in half (horizontally) and put an
air seat on top of it, and put vinyl tubing around the edge to prevent
sore fingers form holding the saddle out. The cover was originally
stapled on, so I may buy a new leather one (I'd rather have a Roach one-
will it fit?) or just put metal eyelets into the edge and tie it
together under the saddle.

Does this sound like a good idea? Any ideas on what to use to replace
the metal strip? Or seat cover? How thick will the foam have to be to
fit with an air pillow? So many questions!!!

UNITED! WOO HOO! Not only that, but you get TWO MORE FREE just for
buying ONE! I don't even have three unicycles, but i could get 6 for
LESS than ONE KH Velo.

Take THAT!

But KH saddles are 7 times more comfy and will last 7 times longer and
look 7 if not 8 times as good, ergo, it's a better deal!

i myself prefer strength over comfort. so i use a viscount saddle with a
reeder handle for street riding. ive broken two viscounts now and i know
that id break a miyata or KH... someone really needs to come out with an
unbreakable seat with a lifetime warrenty... the the profiles.. except a
seat... that would be nice.

My brother's friend gave me his unicycle last summer and it had the
child-sized Torker saddle so I bought a yellow Viscount saddle for it.
I find the Viscount to be extremely uncomfortable and I would never buy
another one. I regret buying that one, actually. And I'm a girl. :) I
don't know how anyone rides them for any length of time.

Miyata seats are out of stock now anyway, but I think the KH seats are
the best seats off the shelf now. If money is no issue a Miyata
air-seat is the most comfortable but it's pretty expensive.

I wonder if they will ever sell the black Miyata-style Torker saddles by
themselves? If they did they would probably be pretty cheap and that
would be a good option. But now they just come on the unicycles, I
think.

stop dissing the viscount for its uncomfortableness.... i know its
uncomforatble, but other than that its a good seat. i mean theres no
seat out there thats gonna stand the pressure of hopping down 10 stairs
like 5 times in a row before landing it. i mean being uncomfortable is
better than knowing your seat is gonna for sure break as soon as you try
something hard. if a piece of equipment is gonna be holding me back from
trying to push the limits of unicycling, then i dont want it. thats why
the viscount is good... its the strongest thing available right now
without paying like 300$. comfort just simply isnt good enough to make
up for a weak seat. viscount all the way!! haha see ya, Kevin

Well, I guess it depends on what you're doing. If you're just riding
around and not doing anything too extreme, strength isn't as big of a
deal.

I guess the Viscount probably wouldn't be as bad for trials where you
aren't sitting down much but for any type of distance riding it is a
pain in the butt. :D

If you're going for distance you don't want to have to stop because of
saddle soreness before your legs even get tired.

That's a nice observation, Kevin. I never really considered getting a
Viscount for my trials uni untill now. Plus, it's not like i sit all the
time on my trials uni anyway. :)
