My New Airseat
This was my first airseat and I am extremely happy with the result. It took me a good part of the day to get perfect. The Gemcrest Leather was very expensive but worth it. It feels really durable and even smells like a new car! I'm wondering what PSI is good to run airseats at without risk of punctures?

Don't worry about PSI, chances are, if it's comfortable, you don't have to worry about punctures. Airseat flats are super-rare, don't worry about it.

Looks really good. What are you going to use that on? I couldn't tell from your picture, but did you use the GB4 stiffener plate. http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=607 The GB4 handle puts a lot of stress on the saddle, so the GB4 stiffener plate is recommended. -- One on one - Proud member of the UALW and GUA "However, like the jet pilot, if the Coker rider tries to turn too fast, he/she could black out." -Memphis Mud I went further than I had planned and had a testicle break at about 25 ks -onebyone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ One on one's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5740 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42347 |

Figure the cost of a Miyata seat to cannibalize, CF base, rails adapter, seatpost, seat cover, misc hardware, fabric and sewing for the air pillow, and all the other stuff and the cost adds up. Some of the extra expense is because I was (and still am) experimenting with different things in the seat so the cost keeps going up as I try new things. They can turn into a money pit if you're not careful. -- john_childs - Guinness Mojo john_childs (att) hotmail (dott) com Gallery: '' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/john_childs) ' Unicycling Bookmark List' (http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/) :: 'World Clock' (http://tinyurl.com/a99y3) 'Click Me' (http://tinyurl.com/7lvbu) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42347 |

But, then again... * Yeah I forgot to mention there's a GB4 Stiffener Plate there too. It's an authentic one I'm sure, not the Miyata one. It cost $10 from unicycle.com. Thanks, Duane, for convincing me to buy the Leather Gemcrest over the Vinyl Gemcrest. I am very glad I did spend the extra dough.
