I think I got some too but I'm still alive BTW A CF base is 200-300g lighter than a standard one. -- SkierAlex You've highlighted my sig'.'

Carbon Fiber Base Thread...
Can anyone comment on the shape of the Wallis base compared to the UDC one that's supposed to be a replacement for KH saddles? I broke my KH street saddle, which I liked. I'd get a Wallis base if it's close to the same shape. But I don't want to lay out that kind of money and end up with something really wide or really curved. -- tmoyer ')--360unispin08--O' (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=HPwf_TA17xo) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tmoyer's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16057 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68408 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

ok - just went back through the rest of the thread again. Sounds like the Wallis base is wider, deeper and less curved than the KH base. Anyone that's tried both have more to say on comparing them? -- tmoyer ')--360unispin08--O' (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=HPwf_TA17xo) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tmoyer's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16057 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68408 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Actually the Wallis cf base is slightly narrower than the Gemcrest, and definitely flatter (a good thing!). -- unisk8r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unisk8r's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4660 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68408 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I should be getting my Base this week. 160 from darren for the hardware, and drilling. Smart on his behalf, cause unicycle .com doesn't supply the drilling or hardware, but 120 for the standard base is kinda a rip off. But its very smart business on his behalf. -- beeper )-90'-UNISPIN-O 'SixSixOne' (SixSixOne.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ beeper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15159 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68408 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Not quite sure why you did that, Conrad. I was just proving that I have the same view regarding bedford's base as him. I read that post, I was just stating that it happened to me too. -- beeper )-90'-UNISPIN-O 'SixSixOne' (SixSixOne.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ beeper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15159 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68408 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I'm not saying that he tried to rip me off or that he changes his prices for different people, I'm just saying that if you are going to be spending near the same amount of money, why don't you go for (arguably) the best? -- Conrad.Nguyen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conrad.Nguyen's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17499 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68408 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

unisk8r wrote: Actually the Wallis cf base is slightly narrower than the Gemcrest, and definitely flatter (a good thing!). So which is it? Narrower or wider than KH/Velo? Flatter does match up with what Scott himself said in this thread, so that makes sense. foforackard wrote: i love my cf base from Scott. the only downside to it is it made my seat a lot wider, making it harder to do unispins.

Gemcrest was based on a Miyata base I believe, but Wallis is about the same or maybe at most just a couple mm wider in the center than a KH (which is the narrowest center section). -- unisk8r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unisk8r's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4660 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68408 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
