Kris Holm Fusion Street Saddle – One Piece Only

We’ve brought in 3 pieces of the Kris Holm Fusion Saddle and we’re left with just one before we’ve the chance to get it up in the shop.
These saddles are really the most comfortable saddles you’ll ever rest your butt on. I’m using an older model and the softer foam and cover reduces abrasions from long rides significantly.
There have been improvements since the model I’m using and these include a groove down the middle to alleviate pressure, a stiffer base plate so your seat doesn’t fold as easily when you’re exerting Death Grip on the handle while descending mad slopes, and it also uses screw-in bolts instead of bolts and nuts to keep it on the seat post.
Here’s a very good write up on the saddle complete with pictures.

The 15th International Unicycling Convention took place over 28 Dec 2009 – 7 Jan 2010 in Wellington, New Zealand. More than 650 participants were in attendance and it was definitely inspiring to see what the rest of the world is up to.

So That’s Why They Call it a White Christmas

Unfortunately for the rest of us in Singapore, the closest we can get to the white stuff is dandruff.
Here’s a shoutout to Jim who’s having fun with his 24″ Cross in Harbin, China!
Smoother Than an Expensive Latte

Here’s something for all you aspiring distance unicyclists.
I cleaned up my 29″ Cross a little and put on some new parts. Owing to the high humidity, some of the screws have rusted and there’s a bit of mould on the tyre (amazing weather we have in Singapore!) and I’m quite glad that the ISIS cranks I have on are made from non-rust aluminium.
In the picture is the ‘07 or ‘08 frame – the new frame has a completely flatcrown. I’ve swapped out the original Kenda Karma knobby tyre for a Schwalbe Marathon 28″ x 1.75″ tyre. Cranks shown are 100mm ones (stock ones are 145) to go faster – the shorter the cranks, the less distance your feet have to move to have the wheel cover a revolution. The black seat shown is a Kris Holm Fusion Gel saddle and the handlebar’s a uncycle-specific Coker Pi Bar.
I’ve also swapped out the original metal pedals for a pair of flat plastic Eclat Surge PC pedals. They’re meant for flatland/street riding and I thought I’d try them out because they’re lighter than the metal ones albeit chunkier.
The narrower profile of the tyre actually makes the uni a lot more responsive but the short cranks does take some getting used to. On flat roads, this feels a lot smoother to ride with but wind affects it a lot more than it would with a wider tire.
Both the pedals and the seat will be available with Team-Uni shortly as well as a different model of handle – the Pi bar’s very easy to fix up since it attaches to the seat post but the sides rub against my thighs too much to be comfortable for long rides.

Team-Uni is looking at organizing a a FREE beginners unicycle session sometime towards the end of this month (that’s Oct) or early next. Details are not confirmed yet but we ‘d like to get a feel of attendance. If we do have such a session, will you be interested? It would be great if you could take some time to answer
the following as well -
Location Preference? North/South/East/West/Central
Do you own a unicycle?
Time/Day Preference? Weekday Evenings / Weekend Mornings (and which days)
All will be welcome – we’ve got some unicycles around if you haven’t got one. Bring your friends, kids and your kids’ friends along. Preferably tell me the age groups to expect so I can bring down appropriate unicycles. Please do pass the message down to any friends who’d be interested. The session’s currently first-come-first-serve since we can only cater to that many people in one location. However we might have a series of location-specific sessions if there’s a demand.

Cross Frame Upgrades

This year’s Cross unicycles have undergone a frame upgrade.
<– Old frame
The new frame comes with a flat crown which reduces the likelihood of your hitting the inside of your knees onto them and also comes with brake mounts if you decide to move into serious downhill riding. They also feel lighter too which has to be a good thing. While you’ll probably not hit your knees at all after the initial week or two of riding, the selling point for me really, is that the setup looks more aesthetically-pleasing now and dare I say more classy than the previous frame.
Personally, what I like most are the new brake mounts. It saves the hassle of fixing them separately.
