  1. I have a new sun 26 inch unicycle which i can ride just fine but would
    love suggestions on which seat to buy. The stock seat shape is no good
    for me and smashes my errr "family jewels." Seems to me a flat seat
    would be ideal, it's the upturned front of the seat that is the problem.
    I tried adjusting the seat but there is not enough range of adjustment
    to flatten out the seat. Anyone have an experience with this sort of
    problem? Any seat reccomendations? thanks so much! David

  3. Tilting the nose of the saddle up actually helps. You wouldn't think
    so, but it does. Tilting the nose of the saddle up gets you to sit on
    the back part of the saddle and keeps you from sliding down to the
    lowest part of the bottom of the "U". If you've been trying to make the
    saddle flatter by lowering the nose of the saddle then you've been
    adjusting it the wrong way.

  5. In your profile, you are a self-described newbie. Many young riders ride
    with their regular underwear, usually boxer shorts. Bad Idea. The
    problem you discussed may be alleviated by wearing some sort of scrotal
    support garment such as underarmour. When it comes to the family
    jewels, you won't be having fun until they're having fun.

  6. i ride in boxer shorts unless i'm going for a long ride. with practice
    you'll get used to it and your body will find a way to seat itself more
    comfortably. that said, tilting the seat back works wonders. as does
    riding on a seat like a KH or an air seat insead of a viscount or
    something.

  7. Once you get more steady you should think about adding some handle bars,
    they take a bit of your weight off the seat, which relieves a lot of
    pressure
