  1. I was curious about what people's seat height was in comparison to their
    leg inseam.(the second number on your jeans' size for the uninformed)

    my inseams 35" and my seat (measured from the middle of the cranks to
    the bottom of seat) is 13.5"

  2. I gots mine so I can stand over top of it comfortably. This way my
    roling hops are way easier as are unispins.

  4. Inseam 34", the curve in my seat is 35", so I can stand on the ground
    and have the seat under me and have a bit of weight on it.

  13. is freestyle height higher than trials? I kinda like where my seat is
    however..because i do a lot of distance riding and freestyle stuff. But
    i wonder if i'd be able to jump higher w/ the seat lower.

    that makes sense, but wouldn't you be able to jump higher with the
    seatpost lower?...because you can pull up more?

  18. For seat in jumping, yes.

    With a lower seat, you can then tuck it further up between your legs.

    But for people doing SIF trials, they like it higher, because they dont
    have to bend over as much, and its more comfortable to hold onto.

    Freestyle people like it higher because they dont have to squeeze their
    legs onto their frame when they are doing standup, or feet on the frame
    tricks, like one footed WW.
