I am considering the torker unistar CX 20"

while reading previous posts like this i see that the LX is worth the
20$ more

That's the general consensus, and I personally think it's a great
unicycle. You have to pick the wheel size you want epending on your
height and what type of unicycling you plan to do, but for beginners I
think it is an excellent choice.

My first uni was a Bedford 20" and I love it.

It's been getting a bit ignored since I got my Bedford 29", but t'sall
good.

Darren does great work and puts together a solid ride.

Do you have a hacksaw? Do you know someone with a hacksaw? I just cut a
seatpost with a hacksaw today, it works fairly well.

just try to make sure when, or if, you cut it with a hacksaw, you try to
keep the cut clean. flat, and smooth, then kinda smooth it up when your
done, so you dont scratch up and ruin the inside of your seatpost =p

My cut was anything but flat, but its still ok, as long as the bottom of
the seatpost dosen't hit the bottom or stick out of the frame its
good.
I guess I could borrow a grinder and flatten it right off.

Hacksaw? Hacksaw?

For heaven's sake use a pipe cutter. Your hardware store, your LBS and
your plumber all have one. In my experience, unless you are a total
sasquatch, you'll need to cut doen the seatpost. You may also want to
have a file handy to smooth things out, no matter which tool you use to
cut the tube.

My vote, BTW is for the LX because that is what I learned on.

i learned on a 20" cyclepro. i didn't think to cut the seatpost so it
was almost touching the tire when i started. then, of course, i raised
it a couple of inches because i got better at it. i've still got my
cyclepro but i'll probably need a new one soon for trials.

Go Lx! That's what I'm learning on and it is taking the beating I'm
giving it very well. I love it (go for 20" too, I have a 24" but now I
wish I would have gotten a 20)

If you plan to go into street riding, then that is probably an
excellent choice for a first unicycle.
