Re: Woooo...... It's here!

thanks, I'm really excited. I can't wait till my grampa gets back from
his fishing trip sp he can cut off my seat post and help me tighten the
stupid bolts and stuff. (I actually did pretty good for a girl but
they're still not tight enough!) Grrr! Anyway thank you very much im
gonna go stare at it now (all I can do for now)

Tash =D *

I am just wondering how tall you are because I have a Torker also and I
have my seat post about as high as it can go.. Of course I am about 6'4"
tall 🙂 And I do wish you luck 🙂

I'm 5'7 and I've never needed to shorten a seatpost to make a uni
rideable - only to save a bit of weight.

The seat is attached to the "seat post" by 4 bolts.

The post slides into the "seat tube" which is the top section of the
frame.

The seat tube has a slot in the back.

There should be a clamp around the neck of the seat tube. So, you slide
the seat post into the seat tube, then you tighten the clamp.

The clamp is usually operated by a cam-action lever. Sometimes it's
operated by loosening/tightening a nut.

Look closely.

Modern unicycles will have a very similar arrangement. Only the details
vary.

You should be able to adjust the seat height easily.

Did you know that for most of his life einstein looked very different
than that and was a very serious person. Many people judge his
personality from that picture. That pic is still funny tho😄

happy_4_u,
fwiw, on my new LX (24"😉, I had to cut off 3 1/2 inches on the post. The
post was *bottomed out* inside the tube/frame, so I couldn't make any
other seat adjustments. No quick-release on this one, just allen wrench
tightening the clamp 🙁
I would believe the *posts* on the 24 are longer than on the 20", but
some one else probably knows better (since I am new to this also).
I believe the total length of my seatpost was 16 inches. When I put my
uni together and got on it, my foot couldn't reach the bottom pedal when
in the verticle position. That was scary 🙂
Any way, just what I found out and had to do on mine.

I think the standard lengths for seat posts are 200mm, 300mm and 400mm.
They are like Forest Gumps' box of chocolates, you never know what
you're going to get.

A suggestion: When you buy a new unicycle, order the longest available
seat post then cut it to fit.

That's what I did, too, I got a 400mm and cut it pretty far, there's
still some room for me to grow though so when I do I can Just Make it
higher
