    hello everyone,
    i had a question about seat post size.
    on a trials, many people say to have ur seat lower than normal.
    i think i could do a 300 but i dont know if i could lower it enough for
    trials.
    should i get a 200?
    im 5 foot 5 inches, 115 lbs and 15
    thank you, troy

    Buy the longest, and use a saw to cut it down gradually to your
    preferred length.

    For trials you want a high seat, well for SIF trials you do. Street and
    SI trials you want it real low. You need to be more specific.

    I'm sure if he was a good enough rider to be doing SIF trials then he
    wouldn't need to know about seatpost lengths... so let's assume he is
    doing SI trials.

    Just buy the 400 and cut shorter. If you're doing seat-in-front trials,
    you want the seat to be at a medium-high length. If you're doing
    seat-in trials, you want a low/low-medium seat length.

    If you aren't already doing SIF (seat-in-front) trials, I'd highly
    recommend learning it becasuse it signifigantly improves how high you
    can hop.

    eh, just get like a really long seatpost, and hack it off with a pipe
    cutter if needed... I have my seatpost really low, i dont do much SIF
    trials, but for what i do it works.
