  1. Hey guys, now that I am going further, something like a mile or two, I
    have this problem that after I come back, I notice my seat has dropped
    a couple of cm. It's not really noticable when I ride because the drop
    is gradual and slight. But it annoys me because after a few rides, it
    becomes obvious and I can't put enough weight on the seat so I get
    tired more easily.

    Is there a solution to this problem? I always tighten the seat as far
    as it can go. Currently it's a stock unicycle, no additions to it.

    Thanks much

  2. Sounds like you either need to tighten your existing seatclamp more or
    get a better one.
    What kind do you have at the moment, a quick release type or an allen
    bolt type?

    Allen bolt. The seat clamps are replacable? I was thinking, is it
    possible to get a "good" seat clamp and just put it on top of the
    existing one?

    Shattered leg, can't even put weight on it for months, living
    vicariously through forums.

    I had the same problem with my old uni. It had a quick release clamp.
    Changed the seat clamp and whallah. New uni.

    As long as the current one isn't welded on which it can be on cheap
    unicycles. Just do it up as absolutely tight as possible, if that
    doesn't hold it then there's something wrong.
