mostly i just kinda want something that i can ride around town and not have to worry about having a sore crotch for a week so i cant ride anymore. if people say the kh freeride fusion is that good and is tht much better than the 2 nimbus saddles than i might go with it but for now im just trying to get all the info i can
I’ve got a Nimbus gel, and it feels great after riding on a sun saddle for over a year. I got back on my sun recently and I just realized how uncomfotable the sun saddle was, and how amazing the Nimbus gel is. I’ve never tried a fusion freeride, so I can’t tell you if it is a better deal.
Also, are you in SoCal or the O.C. area, or are you farther north?

The soreness goes away. Also, if you are riding any sort of distance, you might try wearing compression shorts (like bike shorts without the padding) under your pants or by themselves.

Oh, I definitely support the freeride saddle. I’m just saying that for most uses I put it to my Nimbus Gel is fine (but I’m not even in the saddle half the time I ride on that unicycle…)
i think im going to go with the nimbus gel, ive heard more about that one than the kh one anyways, everyone said they love there nimbus, i just need something a little bit more comfortable just so i can start riding again, i just hate to see that uni go to waste, plus if i get the nimbus gel and i start freestyling i wont have to worry about it being too bulky like the nimbus hi-top, i mean people than want more comfy bike seats they get gel seats so why wouldnt it be the same for a unicycle, i just wish someone on here would know if that schwin gel is any good also, i live more north california by the who whoever was asking
I do not have any experience with the Schwin saddle, but it appears to be almost identical to the Nimbus - and they are exactly the same price. They may be made in the same factory to very similar specs (of course, Unicycle.com and Schwin do not make their own saddles - they purchase them from a manufacturer). In that the prices on the two saddles are identical, I am not sure why you are anxious about the Schwin saddle.
If you want to know about any differences between these two saddles, I suggest you e-mail the Help Desk at Unicycle.com. They are very helpful in explaining any product differences.
i did email them and called them today and yesterday and no answer, i talked to the guy that owns uniproshop.com and he said the nimbus saddles are good, like he said anything with gel most likely will be better

what about the velo seats? are they any good? there pretty cheap and they look like they have more gel padding than the nimbus, id like to if its a big difference in the gel and the standard velo saddle
Yea can someone please give a review on that saddle. I’ve been wondering about them also.
good im glad someone else is with me on that one hahahahahahha
Haha yea. I have a tip for you tho. Have you tried wearing bike shorts. I havent tried it But a lot of people say it helps.
ya i dont know if ill go that far, ya the gel one looks like it would really help, it looks a lot thicker than the standard nimbus gel saddles so maybe it will be more comfortable, plus its just a copy of the kh saddles so it much be good
ridden on one and it feels like a clone of the nimbus hi-top to me but a little softer. You can’t really even tell there is gel in it.
i mean its only 37 bucks for the gel so if its better than the high top than im happy, i wonder y people dont have this saddle
they don’t have it because it’s a thick seat and it’s not very comfy…
not by what it says here, are you talking that the gel isnt comfy or the foam isnt comfy? or both?
The seat in general isn’t comfy, I rode one of the velo gel seats for about 5 miles and got numb but I could ride my nimbus gel for about 15 before I got numb.
well my problem isnt getting numb, its the hurting on my butt bones inbetween my legs, ive sat on the torker dx saddle before and that felt better than mine, so i think anything that has more foam or gel than mine would be better, i think its bec i go straight to the plastic frame rather than getting any bit of comfort, i just think it might be the best think for me especially for that price, i mean for you its the numb factor, for me its the pain factor, i mean it is an exact copy of the kh older 06 saddles so im sure its gota be somewhat better than what i got
just thought id let everyone know that i ordered a velo gel seat for 35 bucks from bikestop.com, i also ordered the torker dx saddle from a local shop too so i can get this saddle to work with my torker lx
