trials seat hight

i like mine lower than for muni and regular riding, but probably higher
than lots of people, but i'm a tall guy and i don't want to have to
bend over too far to be able to do seat out.

high or low? When I see some of the european riders doing like 110cm
they have a low seat, but some of the best trials riders like Ryan
Atkins and Zack Baldwin have fairly high seats.
So what do you guys prefer?

it depends on how you ride, seat in or seat out.

if you ride seat out you might like a high seat more, because it is
comfier.

if you ride seat in you might liek a low seat more, because it gives
you more room to tuck.

From bottom of my tire, to the top of my seat, my unicycle is around
40inches tall.

The seat comes right to my button on my pants.

5'11" SIF rider.

I've experimented with seat hight a -lot- over the past 5 or so months.
At the begining, I rode with my seat really really low, so that when I
stood up on the uni, there was about 8" between my crotch and seat.
Then I switched to riding where just riding around on the street, at
the bottom of the wheel revolution my foot would just barely stay on
the pedal. Then I found that pretty impractical for skinnies (although
I did experiment with SIF skinny riding, which actually was pretty
cool, cause if you lost you balance, instead of shifting your body
weight, you would tip the uni over a tiny bit to make fine tuning
adjustments). Now I have found a happy medium and ride with the seat
somewhere inbetween.

I keep my seat low enough for SI, but I can still do SIF just fine.
Once I get better with SIF I will raise it up.
