I just got your KH24 last week and after a 5 miles ride the bolts have spun themselves loose. I heard some creaking and it ended up being just that. Nothing a little lock-tight won't fix, but I still look forward to the 2004 seat! -- zod - Icey Hot Stunta(z) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zod's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3631 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27390 |

Flexy KH saddle?
I had always known the flexiness was a weakness, and had tried to jump with mostly my legs and pull only the weight of the Unicycle up with the handle. Mike might not have known this, or else maybe he couldn't control himself, so he yanked for all he was worth on the NZ$90 (replacement value) seat, snapping it in half. It is still usable but the upward flex is multiplied. I won't replace, fix, or use it because today I put my Reeder handle on the Carbon fibre airseat. I saw a thread in which a fix for the plateless KH seats is mentioned with the picture (attached), but I can't remember the author or else I would quote her (or him). This solution would probably work best as a prevention rather than a cure for cracking. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Attachment filename: kh velo flex fix.jpg | |Download attachment: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/158843| +----------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Rowan - •·.·´¯`·.·• ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rowan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3772 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27390 |

I don't think it is a 2004 model. It was whatever unicycle.com sold me about a month and a half ago. A 2003? So the metal plate thing in Rowan's picture. It looks like a seatpost with the welded on reiforcing plate? Is that what I need? Unicycle.com got 'em? -- loafr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ loafr's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3987 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27390 |

Reason: on all 3 KH seats I have used, when the nuts are tightened, the bolts push up on the caps; and the caps (eventually) break/fall off, exposing the rather "nasty to fingers" threads on the bolts. duaner. -- duaner - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ duaner's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4297 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27390 |
