  1. Hey guys, I am really interested in unicyling and really want to start.
    What brand is a good starter, yet somewhat cheap?

  3. I agree with surfer about the LX, you may want to change the seat later
    on as the LX seat becomes very uncomfortable after a while. 😄

  4. Hi all, I just decided to get back on the unicycle after giving it up
    10-12 years ago. My old schwinn 24" was on its last leg so I purchased
    a 26" torker. I found out that I'm more out of shape than I thought as
    I can't seem to ride for more than a couple of minutes before my legs
    give out. I also discovered the issue with seat that Hazmat mentioned.
    Any suggestions for a replacement seat? I'm just over 6' and about
    225lbs (for now 😉 ).

    Thanks
