  1. What should the seat post diameter measure for my 29" Yuni if I were to
    get a bicycle rail type seat post?

  2. The Yuni frames take a 22.2 mm (7/8"😉 seatpost. The Jim Beam seatpost
    you linked to is only available as a 25.4 mm (1"😉 diameter. It won't
    fit. A 22.2 mm seatpost that will work is the 'Primo Rod'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=602).

    but why stop there? go for the best.

    you can get either one of these from Darren Bedford...they are the most
    trick 22.2 seat posts available.

  5. Hi- Sorry to butt in here with an unrelated question.
    But...I'm a newbie with a deep need for a 29". Anyone have
    a recommendation re which one I should get?? Uni, Sem...other?
    90% road, 10 easy trails. Big Apple tire?
    Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

  6. I am currently using a Yuni 29" with a nanoraptor tire. I am quite
    happy with the Yuni, so I would recommend the Yuni 29"er.

    If you are a newbie you might want to order the 150mm cranks instead of
    the 125s. The 150s will give you more control than the 125s, but will
    decrease your average speed. I dont have any experience with the Big
    Apple tire, but I think it is wider than the nanoraptor. The nanoraptor
    will work fine on the road and slight trails.

    How much do those seat posts cost? I don't want to spend too much money
    on the seatpost because the adapter for the miyata seat is going to cost
    me 60+ dollars alone. Granted you usually do get what you pay for, but
    the primo rod seems adequate enough. I just want to be able to tilt the
    seat a little to relieve more saddle soreness.

    the AL version that i got was $45. twice the price as the ROD but about
    50 times lighter. The ROd weighs a ton! the other version in the pic is
    a carbon version but at $85 i said no no to that.

    look into the Kinport rail adapter, i dont think they are $60 bucks like
    the Wilder one.

    if you only need the seat to tilt a little bit you may be able bend the
    front end of the post up and the back end down. i did this once and was
    very easy to do and didnt damage anything. you can also put some rizer
    washers under the seat plate but above the seat post.

    (the pic of the FMF post seems to go in and out so im going to permently
    attach it)
