    Hi All,
    My girlfriend has a Hunter frame with an old Miata seat (I think). I
    bought her a new KH seat, but the bolt holes on the old post don't work
    for the KH seat, and it is too small of an area to drill new ones.

    What post on unicycle.com can I get that fits inside the Hunter frame? I
    can't quite figure out what diameter I need, and which post will work
    with the KH seat.

    Thanks all!
    Corbin

    My Hunter MUni has this configuration with a KH seat:

    http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=276 (26.8 diameter)

    Hope this helps!

    cool, thanks! Unfortunatly, my girlfriend is so short, that the post has
    to be really short. The extra height that the rail gives would make it
    too tall for her.

    There doesn't seem to be any traditional seatposts that are 26.8 in
    diameter.

    Would it be possible for me to get this:

    http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=608

    which is 22.2, and get an adapter to make it work with the 26.8? If
    so...where could I get such an adapter?

    These shims may work:

    http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=252

    But, I don't know for sure.

    Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you all!

    I just cut my seat post when I got the MUni, was a little too high even
    for me.

    Corbin, one of the world's best shim makers lives just down the road
    from you. Rick Hunter can make any shim you need pretty easily.

    He has sometimes used 25.4 seatpost stock (like on my Hunter36) and
    sometimes 26.8. 26.8 used to be a standard mountain bike seatpost size
    but has fallen out of favor in recent years. For your case, I'd
    recommend a shim and a normal 22.2 unicycle seatpost.
