  1. I like Joe hodges like to ride my seat low, but I havnt been able to
    experiment much, do most people ride with their seat high, or low, what
    are the advantages/disadvantages, where do most people ride it? Why?
    For street tricks what is the easiest, higher or lower? "For Jumping
    Higher" what is easiest, Joe Hodges does it seat low. Fabian rides his
    high? Whats the difference in how it helps or takes away?

  2. For unispins, I think that a higher seat makes them easier. in trials,
    you can't get full leg extension if your seats to low. that's what I
    think.

  3. I have a very low seat, becuase I hop seat in. But I'm thinking of
    starting SIF, that's why I'll highten the seat. High seat is also
    easier for pedalling

  10. Set properly (that's high, as per a bicycle) for riding from one place
    to another.

    A bit lower for Muni or anywhere where you might need to be out of the
    seat for some of the time.

    Even lower for "tricks".

  17. low looks trialsish, street riders usually ride bit higher than trials
    riders and muni ride lower than distance and freestylers some of them
    ride insanely high!

    But it should be wot ur comfortable with, i used to ride real low
    (trials) but then i learned SIF and then its nicer to ride abit higher
    cause then u dont hurt your back and its nicer to yank the uni up from
    a not so crouched position.

    Just do what you like!

    if you havent had time to experiment then experiment dont post a thread
    here, just go out and ride and try!
