Re: Saddles(seats)

The KH seat is tough on the fingers when the saddle's out front, I have
to agree but still I think better value than the Miyata and the best
standard seat you can buy! Obviously air seat conversions are going to
be the best for a lot of people, but then, so is anything you customize
for yourself!

*Slight* tangent here!
I recently snapped the metal strip inside one of my KHs, but everything
else is fine. Because of how I snapped the strip, two of my bolts just
turn with the nuts in the base, so I can't tighten them! So I'm going to
replace the strip with something strong and bolt a rail bracket on
before using a bandsaw to cut the foam in half (horizontally) and put an
air seat on top of it, and put vinyl tubing around the edge to prevent
sore fingers form holding the saddle out. The cover was originally
stapled on, so I may buy a new leather one (I'd rather have a Roach one-
will it fit?) or just put metal eyelets into the edge and tie it
together under the saddle.

Does this sound like a good idea? Any ideas on what to use to replace
the metal strip? Or seat cover? How thick will the foam have to be to
fit with an air pillow? So many questions!!!
