Unicycle Suspension?

perhaps not the best title to choose for the thread, but no, I have not
tried it, though if it was available in NZ I probably would have. it
may take a bit to get used to though.

Has anyone used this 'product?'
(http://unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=273)

its not a good idea for anything but cokering or other long distances
even then it probably wouldnt be a good idea
thats designed to be pushed down, not pulled up like uni seats are...

What's the benefit of a suspension seat post for a unicycle? As distance
between saddle and pedals changes when the spring compresses you need
to adapt that length change with your legs. A spring may be useful for
bikes (but not in the seat post) where the distance seat - pedals stays
fixed.

For anything except riding (e.g. jumping) it won't do any good anyway.

A long-travel suspension would probably cause problems. But these posts
don't move that much, and they're very nice for taking the edge off the
bumps. Though people originally adapted them for MUni use, they might
actually be better for road riding. The longer the ride, the more it's
worth the extra weight!

Compression is not a big deal, as you'd stand up for major bumps.
Suspension is good for the little, constant stuff. Another area where
it can become an issue is in unexpected big bumps. I have an earlier
version of the Thudbuster (called Uni-Pivot) on my carbon MUni. I
rarely ride this uni any more because it doesn't fit a very wide tire.
But I remember hitting some large bumps with my pedals vertical, and
getting bounced off the seat. But this only happens rarely, and if
you're not paying attention. My example happened on the famous
Downieville trail, which is pretty technical.

The Thudbuster post above is a really nice addition to a unicycle, but
not recommended so much for Trials, Street, or Freestyle, where
suspension might get in the way.

What i did was purchase the Kh Rail Bracket Adapter from
unicycle.com.au
and a suspension seatpost from a bike dealer near by, attached fits
perfect and works pretty darn good. Not as much movement when riding
but it really takes the edge off, when your jumping things.
