An air saddle can take some getting used to, but ultimately it will be
much more comfortable than a foam seat. When set up properly, it
shouldn't hinder your riding at all. You will need to experiment to
find the right air pressure; pressure is critical to achieving a
comfortable and controlled ride. Too much air and you'll be bouncing
on the seat, too little and you'll be sitting on the plastic base. I
run my airseat as low as possible: just enough air to keep me off the
base.
If you're still having problems you can "shave down" your old foam
insert (or find some new, thinner foam) and put it on top of your air
pillow. This will give you the best of both worlds: the firmness of
foam and the cushiness of air. Unfortunately, it tends to make the
seat rather thick and difficult to reassemble. The KH fusion cover
doesn't seem to have been designed to have room for both air and foam.
Let us know how it works out!
