Is this common

I dont really reccomend doing the backwards seat and towel thing, I bet
it was just sort of a placebo. Try riding normally now(wih the seat the
right way and no towel) just be persistant. I am sure that funny shaped
buttox has nothing to do with it. Heck look at me I have got one of the
best looking butts out of anyone I have ever met(apart from these two
underwear models)., and I have no problem riding. So just keep at it and
unicycling wont be such a bummer:p...

I haven't personally had trouble of this kind, however, judging from
some other people's comments about your particular model of uni, you
might want to consider dumping it and getting one that's worth the
investment.

I also had a Torker as my first uni and had similar problems. Its not
you, its the seat. If what you are doing seems to be working, stick with
it, but you may want to upgrade to a better seat in the future. (The
Torker DX seat is a pretty good deal) Other than the seat I think you
found a great starter uni.
Stick with it.

Switching your seat may be the best thing to do. Like previously
mentioned, the Torker DX saddle is good. It's a clone of the arguably
better made KH saddle. The 'United Saddle'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=242) and the 'Viscount
saddle' (http://tinyurl.com/6ydv) are cheaper then the KH and Torker DX,
but they aren't as comfy. All the saddles will hold up to a fair bit of
abuse so don't be too concerned about dropping them.

Note: The Viscount saddle is fairly tough, but the screws holding on the
front and rear bumpers are prone to falling out. Replacing the screws
with ones a size larger will fix the problem.

I used to have a Chrome Torker (before they were called the CX) and I
didn't know how bad that saddle was until I switched to a Miyata. x

You are not alone with not liking this seat.

I would second what daino said about the 'Torker DX saddle'
(http://tinyurl.com/6q52b) being a good choice.

The torker LX saddle isnt bad either. It's just like a miyata saddle.
But for $8 more, i'd definitely go for the DX.

The DX saddle does NOT come with a seat post. I would call unicycle.com
up and ask them if the DX saddle will fit your CX seat post. If not,
you'll have to also buy a seat post that fits your CX unicycle (looks
like a 22.2mm seat post diameter?) and the DX saddle.

Holy [censored]....and now i just realized that Kris Holm saddles are only
$39. This would be the best (and cheapest) saddle if you can get it with
a seat post that will fit your CX.

Honestly, i just confused myself a whole lot writing this up. I would
just call up unicycle.com (the numbers on their website) and tell them
you need a better saddle for your torker CX. If these seats dont cost
too much for you, i'd pick the Kris Holm saddle first, then torker DX,
then Torker LX, then Viscount or something.

I really hope i didnt confuse you too much. Good luck.

Take it easy, no one ever said that education the world about unicycling
would be easy.

Twist- One thing to keep in mind is that unless you get a Savage
saddle, you are getting something better then what you currently have.


Now, you are in luck because the seat post you have will fit any saddle
with the exception of the Miyata or the Torker LX (which are the same
thing anyway). So like I, and several other people, have said, go for
the Kris Holm, Torker DX, or Velo (which are all the [basically] same
thing anyway).

Are you thoroughly confused yet?

Ok, I think im following you guys. Glad to know my poor riding entirely
my fault 😎 It seems like the 'Kris Holm Saddle'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=627) would be the best
choice for an upgrade> Just got back from youthgroup which i rode it too
while hanging on to some friends. It gets quite a bit of attention.
Well, i guess I'd better stop procrastinating and do my homework.
*sigh*
