KH Saddle Bolts
Just wondering before I Take it apart: On a ride this Friday I broke one of the bolts that hold my KH Fusion Freeride saddle to the rail adaptor. I was wondering if I could take the cover and foam off the plastic base and put a new bolt in or if the bolt is actually imbedded in the plastic?

I had the same problem with a kh seat and replaced the bolt with no problems.

After your responses I took apart the seat. I should be able to get a replacement bolt but I found a more serious problem. It seams like the metal plate is also broken. It cracked right where I broke the bolt. I don't know how long it has been broken or if it is needed for strength or just as a support for the bolts. I am going to try and get it welded though. Also I never realized how heavy the rail adaptor is! Unicorn -- Unicorn Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the pedals, and you will accomplish great feats!

mr joel.;1125891 wrote: could i take apart my nimbus gel seet cuase the same thing has happened to mine yes, they have an extremley similar construction. The bolts have a square shoulder on them to stop them spinning in the plate, finding replacements might be tricky. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73985 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

1) the metal plate is there cuz without it the plastic is not nearly strong enough for you to use the seat handle. weld something thin over it (along the sides... the welds will add a huge amount of strength), welding the break will only let it break again. 2) get stainless bolts that are slightly larger and you won't have to worry about this again. -- skrobo Unicycle For Christ 'MY VIDEOS' (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=skroboskim) 'World Record' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oig5IEq-v4Y) "dude when i first got into this sport and saw one of you videos i almost threw up it was so sick" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ skrobo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12272 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73985 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Scrobo thanks for your suggestion that is what I am planning on doing. This is something that Kris can do to easily strengthen his Unis.

true, but then CF seats would be only for weight weenies ... and saddles would weigh a significant amount more. -- skrobo Unicycle For Christ 'MY VIDEOS' (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=skroboskim) 'World Record' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oig5IEq-v4Y) "dude when i first got into this sport and saw one of you videos i almost threw up it was so sick" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ skrobo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12272 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73985 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
