    My new unicycle just arrived today and I'm very excited to get started.
    No one, my husband included, can believe I'm doing this since I just
    turned 40 this summer. Anyway, I got a 24" Torker, but it seems to be
    just a little bit too tall and the seat post is down as far as it will
    go. I've tried it out a little, but it really is too tall. Apparently
    my inseam isn't as long as I thought. My first instinct is to cut an
    inch or so off the bottom of the seat post Is this a wise idea? Thanks
    in advance for any help you can give me.

    cut the seatpost - do a search on the forum for instructions too.

    I keep on thinking about starting threads & find out that the subject is
    usually covered about once a month!

    Use a pipe cutter to cut the post! Then lightly sand any burrs off the
    end!

    Your only forty?!!! You're still a young whippersnapper!!!

    Enjoy the unicycle addiction! EVen the naysayers come around
    eventually........once they see your progress!!

    It's also a good idea to lightly grease the bottom 1/2 inch just before
    installling.

    Ok, I am now officially in my normal state of -advanced- confusion.
    Don't try to confuse me, it won't make any difference.
