  1. I have a Torker LX, and i am getting into Street unicycling.

    The saddle that they come with, is terrible for Sif hopping, and
    riding. it is wide in the back and i struggle while getting it in
    front of me, and by the time i do, i fall.. i am going to get a new
    uni, but for the time being, what type of saddle should i get?

  2. The LX base actually has a pretty sweet lip for trials. You shouldnt
    have a problem taking the seat out unless your seat is too high, So try
    lowering it.

    it definately isn't too high, but when i go to put the seat in front of
    me, it catches the back of my leg... and i dont have big thighs.. im a
    thin person.. i actually have to go bowlegged to get the seat out in
    front, and its extremely uncomfortable. and i have realized that this
    is the reason for my failed attempts at the unispin.

    The saddle is not your problem. Some of the best freestylers use myaita
    (same as torker LX saddle) saddles.

    Dan heaton rides a myaita seat, best flatlander i know of. Lots of
    people ride the carbon version of your seat. Your seat is fine unless
    its starts to crack.

  7. You would have even more trouble getting a KH style seat in front than
    the LX, its even bigger. Just practice and you will be fine.

    We only need one 36" rim, one that doesn't suck. A properly sized KH rim
    (like the 29er only larger) would be awesome.

    shape.

  10. just curious, what is the LX seat's size compared to the crappy viscount
    seats?

    im in the same position, not a great uni ([censored] except for Nimbus
    frame), and going to buy either KH 20" or DX 20"
