    I don't know what you mean by ti bolts? I have no idea why I would
    need a new seat clamp since I already have one😕

    you can't make a seat post on a cnc mill. it would only cost me about
    $5.00 to just go buy a tube alradey round

  7. Yeah pedals would work, but then you would have to buy the insides of
    the pedals to stick inside. Cranks are the other thing you could make
    and would actualy be useful. Although you would probably be more likely
    to bend the hub than the cranks in my experience with an lx, you could
    still make yourself some shorter cranks.

    no a frame would be more like a welding project and bending the tube
    with a brake

    I have decided that I will just stick to making liquid cooling parts
    for my computer becuase I am not sure what to make or how to make it
    for a unicycle

  12. Pedals and seat post clamps, are the two things that people make often
    but really unless you have something special in mind then there isn't
    much a cnc machine can do for you in terms of your unicycle.

    Actualy you could probably make some really nice pedals and take the
    innards from your existing pedals, I don't know how easy they would be
    to make but pedals are something that is always good to have a good set
    up.

  13. Make a CNC crown piece with 3 holes in it and buy tubing and make a
    frame. You could even clamp the tubes in place if you don't want to
    weld.
