  1. My Torker DX post was waayyyyy too tall when I bought it.

    I'm 5'11" and I hacksawed it a couple inches but I still can't find a
    picture perfect height. I've noticed that other unicycles seem lower,
    but I have fairly tall legs.

    Any trick of finding the perfect trials post length?

  4. i wrote this two seconds before finding your thread

    you should use the wonderfull "search" button in the top right hand side
    of your screen. it depends entirely on your riding style and ability.
    Basically, don't hit your chest with your knees, but make sure you can
    still reach the pedals.

    Long distance = high
    Freestyle = high
    trials in = low
    trials out = high
    flatland = low
    Muni = mid

  5. **Shifty eyes**
    The unicycle on the ground, in a straight position, is just over my
    crotch. Maybe everyone else should be riding with their seat near their
    crotch?

  6. If you wanna ride seat in trials you have it pretty low, if you wanna
    ride SIF (seat in front) trials you wanna have the seat, as Danni said,
    slightly above crotch level. Try and learn SIF trials first and if you
    don't like that style you can cut it down even lower to seat in trials.

  8. Here is something you can try and it works...
    Measure your inseam and set the height of the seat to your actual
    inseam. Measure from the bottom of the crank to the middle of the seat,
    not the top. That would be an ideal position to ride long distance. If
    you don't feel comfortable, you sure have a good starting point.

    For trials start lowering from this height until it feels confortable!

    No, you just quoted someone. And in addition to what I said, I also
    gave him advice on what to do with his post for now.
