KH seats

Does anyone know where you can buy the new KH seats with the thicker
plate inside? My last one broke in half and the seat is now ripping
off. Also is there anyway to strengthen the seat other than the thicker
plate?

Roger, someone might 'break it' (http://tinyurl.com/uyo4). The same
thing happened to my old one, which was apparently a first generation
seat with the feeble base. I have a CF airsaddle now, but I also got a
replacement KH seat which was made in August, a third generation seat.
It's quite a bit stiffer, and narrower at the front, and uses softer
foam padding with a different fabric cover. Hopefully it won't need a
stiffness fix, but I have seen a couple of methods suggested. Ben (with
a KH 24) plans to rig something up with his seatpost protrusion which
mounts the brake. You could also weld an extra plate on like so:

Ha, yes of course Ryan can break it. He seams to be able to break
anything. But the CF base should give a light stong solution and I
should say reasonably unbreakable.

For reinforcement using the brake extension check out what we have done
with on our specials..... we have just put a tag off the end of the
brake extension tied to the rear front handle bolts. Easy and strong
solution without adding much weight... and before you ask, it is not a
standard product at the moment.

What does he do with his unis? Ride over them with cars or hit them on
walls? And how can he afford it?

Well getting a new miata seat with a cabon fibre base is out of the
question because of money problems so I'm gonna have to go with a KH
seat. But the problem is that they don't have them at unicycle.com yet
and I need one soon. Could you tell me where you got yours?
