I was riding with some fellows unicyclists today and I relised how uncomfertable my seat is. Has any one air cushianed a viscount and how it would be done?
hey Tim, i just recently* made a viscount air saddle and here’s how it went:
-
take handle and bumper off.
2.peel the saddle skin off.
3.cut foam out with a VERY sharp knife.
4.use drill press or drill to put in a hole for the valve stem.
5.arange tubing, just put it in all kinds of shapes until you think it looks right. -
get bits of tape to hold the tubing in place.
7.add extra cusion. (optional)
8.put dog bone on top. click here for picture
9.put saddle skin back over the dog bone and saddle.
10.buy custom saddle cover. (kh dosn’t fit on viscount) (optional)
11.dont do number 10 and squeeze a soccor sock over the saddle.
(optional) (much cheaper^)
12.put saddle back on seat post and put on uni.
13.ride with no croch pain
ps: john childs knows everything about viscount conversion
I can help ya Tim. Just wait til next time i see ya and ill help you put it together. I made nicks and redid mine.
EDIT: it might be a lot easier to just buy a kh seat…maybe almost as cheap too.
