i tilted mine back a bit last night and it felt a bit more comfortable.
More weight is on the back not the front

I just tilted mine as far back as it goes(wich isn't very far) and it
felt more comfy. Oh well, time to start saving up for a derail base and
thomsom seat post🙄

giraffe- what are the specs of your trials?

my MUni (which I use for trials) has the seat back. I don't think it
matters much, though you might be able to get to seat out faster that
way. I just like it for normal riding, since it puts weight further
back on my butt and less on my crotch.

you need a bicycle type seatpost to get it to extremes...

Loosen the first bolt on the clamp thingy, then tighten the back bolt
as much as required

By adjusting the tension of the front and rear thompson seat post
bolts.

For example. By tightening the rear bolt, and loosening the front one,
the seat starts to tilt back. Once you get the angling you want from
doing so, you make sure that the bolts are tensioned so that they are
pulling against each other (with the exception of the rear, which the
manual for the Thompson Elite post says should be somewhere near 60lbs
(not sure if that specifically matters though) of torque, I believe),
by starting to tighten the front bolt, which increases the tension of
the back bolt--making sure to tighten each by little increments, so
that they pull against each other, and don't tamper with the desired
angle you want your seat set at.

Does that explain it? It's hard to describe unless you use a bicycle
style seat post, like the Thompson (which is about as good as it gets
for the odd kinds of stress most types of unicycling tends to put on a
seat post), where you'll be able to see in person for yourself how
tilting a seat is done.

In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in

also the manual says if you install something backwards (post, plate?)
a more extreme angle can be achieved 😄

Right. I forgot about that since I have a de-rail seat base now, and I
no longer have to use a few of the pieces that come with a thompson
post.
