Frame Breakage

The biggest stress on a unicycle frame is the side-to-side twisting you
do whenever you pedal hard, especially if you're holding the front of
the seat or a handle. The second biggest stress is probably shocks and
pushes-pulls in the up and down direction, also from the front of the
seat. Where that stresses the frame will depend on how much post is
inside it...

zoharj, you're gonna have to take into account the peripheral
polypropylene extensive forces that exert a reverse spherical
influential pull on the inside of the tubular K-Bend. Maybe put a
waffle plate titanium alloy plate in there. let me know what you end up
going with.

ROLF!, I didn't even realize that was a joke! a Ti plate to reinforce it
is actually a good idea though.
