Cutting down seatpost.

5" does sound like a lot to cut off the post. But it also depends how
much of the seatpost is actually going to be in the frame after you cut
it. If you've got plenty of it still in the frame i dont think there's
gunna be any problem with it. I only cut down my post about 3 inchs.

In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in
practice, there is.

take off 1 inch at a time and then file and try, repeat and rinse till
you have your desired height.

Only way to ensure you don't take 2 much off.

I have a Qu-Ax splined 24 and a 33 leg and yeah, I had to cut loads off.
I've heard that people use pipe cutters but I just used a hacksaw and
measured by eye.
I'd advise cutting off a little bit more than you need to for a bit of
adjustability either way.

Thanks for the advice. I'm at university at the moment and all the tools
are at home, so that's where I'm heading tonight. We've got a pipe
cutter and file.

Unicycle's sitting waiting in the parcel office have to wait two and a
half hours to collect it.

Caution on the pipe cutter. Unicycle seat posts may "kill" a small or
low-end pipe cutter. If the post barely fits in the cutter, proceed
with caution. Otherwise, pipe cutters will do a better job than a
hacksaw. Be sure to file after you're finished, especially any burrs
that may be on the outside. But do the inside as well. Your fingers
will appreciate it sometime in the future!
