But Its A Miyata I Think...





thats what im talking bout...
the foam doesnt even match the sides of the foam... like the base is
too high.....



Crap.

I just figured out that my UDC CF base, which I got for christmas, is
most definitely a miyata style aswell. And I've already got several of
the holes drilled and squared.

I'd noticed the handle and bumper didn't fit too well, and the sides
were higher, but I just figured it was poor quality control or
something from whoever made it. I didn't think that it would be the
wrong style base. I hadn't put any foam on it yet to see what that was
like.


But just now after reading all this I dug out an old Torker LX seat and
that confirmed it. The LX handle and bumper fit on it just fine, but
the KH ones are tight.
This sucks. I hate LX/miyata saddles. I don't know what I'm going to
do.




Funny though, mine doesn't have those weird indentations in the back
like those in your pictures... what's up with that?

Don't worry about it, once you get the KH cover tightened down and try
and fit the handle over the cover both the handle and the foam should
be fine. If not just pop a few washers in there.

I know, but I want it all to work and fit together like it's supposed
to. I don't want to have to -make- it fit....

Man, no wonder I was having so much trouble trying to align the handle
and bumper and all that.
I was literally planning on making a complaint thread saying the KH
style CF base was poorly made and didn't fit well.



hey UniDudeDX, did you specify between KH or Miyata when you order
yours? My parents ordered mine, and I'm not sure what they did. I'm
just wondering if this is UDC's fault, or a mix up when we placed the
order, or what...

He posted a screenshot of his order receipt and it says KH style on it.

in terms of strength Or is it just for XC?

Also, Jerrick, I thought you said there was no reason to get a CF base?
You just need proper form right? Isn't that what you said?

unidude I'd just go for it. The foam really isn't an issue. Like you
said, once you tighten down the cover theres no problem with it.



Wow. Whats with the little attack there?

I didnt say there is no reason for a CF base. I remember mentioning
there isnt always a need to rush towards a CF base so Quickly. I also
didnt say proper form wouldnt just fix everything, but it would
preserve parts longer than it would compared to a bad form.

Perfect example (In both drops im standing, and when landing I dont
just drop right onto the base, but lower down after I land and do a rev
or two). I do a 5 foot drop, and tense my arm up a lot, upon landing,
tons of weight from my arm is shoved into the nose of the saddle, and
it snaps. Now, same 5 foot drop, this time my arm isnt tense and its
jsut there to just keep the saddle under me, and I allow my upper body
to flex down and rebound back up. The base doesnt flex and I can still
ride.

So do you still have a problem with me wanting a CF base? I know we all
agreed that a CF takes away the risk of really breaking one when you
mess up on a trick or just land badly. So I dont really get what you
were trying to prove there, if anything.

No no, this is a different Red Hub. The one you're thinking of is the
square taper kind, they've now switched the red hub over to ISIS
splined, which is starting to become more of a standard interface.

ISIS is pretty strong, it's what KH and Koxx-1 uses. Qu-Ax is also
making a heavy duty ISIS hub now(Yellow). The Qu-Ax -red- ISIS hub is
lighter and therefore probably weaker, although I've heard of people
doing some pretty good drops on them without any damage.
I'll definitely be using it for much more then XC.
