So I was out riding my torker dx today:) and I started climbing up a hill :sunglasses: when my saddle broke in half. :astonished: :frowning: I was wondering what people suggest for a cheap sturdy replacement saddle. :thinking: Also my pedals are falling apart:o so does anyone know of some cheap pedals that fit on the dx and would work for hardcore muni/street? :thinking:
Thanks a lot!:wink: ,Goats

…broke in half? Wtf?

You got any pictures of that? I’m curious as to what you mean.

3

any pedal with 9/16" threads will work.

I can tell exactly how you feel about everything thanks to your emoticon-usage.

I’ve only used them briefly, but they seem good(certainly are very grippy)

If you don’t care about comfort and can drill holes properly, use this

Oh, I’ll get pics soon. The saddle broke right by the seatpost. The only thing holding it on is the covering.

OOO, Thanks everyone! This is helping a lot!

7

that is the best usage of emoticans I’ve seen;)

i’ll agree with mornish and say the nimbus gel is a good one, my cousin broke his dx seat in half too and he replaced it with the gel and loved it but only got to ride it for a short period of time because he snapped his frame a week later…torkers replacing it free for him

Thanks Miles! Oh hey, How about the KH saddle? It’s the same price as the Nimbus. Is it as good?

10

I prefer the nimbus because it’s skinnier, but some people like the KH more. I say get the nimbus though, it doesn’t chaffe very much.

unfortunantly, if you already snapped one base, you will eventually snap another plastic one and the only real way to not break one would be to go carbon fiber. that’s is expensive though.

the nimbus gel is a pretty solid, comfy seat though.

Thanks

The kris holm is close to the dx saddle I think. from what i have read the nimbus gel is a great saddle but the kris holm saddle is also good

The DX saddle is a KH saddle with a different cover. It will be just as strong as the nimbus or the Kh or the KH fusion. If you want something stronger you have pretty much two choices. Either a Steel base, or a Carbon Fiber base. For a steel base I would recommend the Classic Saddle (I’m assuming its steel as its based on the viscount if I’m not mistaken), it is very strong but it’s not that comfortable. You can mod it pretty easily though and toss a handle (the one from the KH is pretty easy to put on) and some nice padding on it (you could use the KH foam or experiment with something). You could use your original padding from the classic seat, your DX cover or buy a fusion cover. If you have the money though and you want something nice and strong and light. Then I would recommend getting a Carbon fiber base, and building around that.

are theese good on 6’+ drops?

15

They are sure better than the ones that came standard on your DX.

16

Great! Thank you all SOOOO much!

17

No problem, if you want some instructions on rebuilding a viscount lemme know as I just did it to mine. I don’t have a camera so it would have to be written though.

I wanna see a picture.
