  1. I recently got a new 20" Torker DX (well, new to me) uni on e-bay. It
    definitely it allot better than my 24 for freestyle and trials. Well
    anywho, as I ride, I can tell my seat post is slipping. After about 1
    mile the post has slid down by about 2 inches. I tightened it down
    really well. Any suggestions for fixing this?

    'Here' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32890) is a
    related thread that I remember from a while back. If your uni has a
    quick-release clamp, replacing it with a regular clamp solves most seat
    twisting and slipping problems, assuming the seatpost is the right
    diameter for the frame tube.

    All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much MUCH
    thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the
    far end. That is the theory that I have and which
    is mine, and what it is too. - Ms. Anne Elk
