  1. I come from a mountain biking backround, and I am used to having the
    seat pretty high. How high should the seat be on the unicycle? I am just
    learning to ride and it seems to low thanks for any comments or
    feedback.

  3. Its just like mountain biking. You want the seat higher for XC. You want
    it lower for DH and more technical stuff. Same for trials.

    While you're just learning to ride. use the same basic method as setting
    the seat height on your bike. Adjust the saddle hieght so that your heel
    just touches the pedal at it's lowest point with your butt firmly
    planted on the saddle. If this feels a little too high. drop the saddle
    about 10mm. Once you learn other skills, such as hopping, it may become
    necessary to lower to saddle

  6. I started using a quick release on my MUni so I could quickly change
    heights -- low for technical stuff with drops and hopping, then back up
    high for straight riding or descents down fire trails where you can bust
    out the tricks (grim with the seat low, foot on the crown and knee up by
    your chin).
