Unicycle Seat Height

Video Transcript

"In addition to being able to buy the right unicycle for your needs, you also have to be able to fit the unicycle to your body type, so for me, I have the unicycle seat post. This is a seat post at this height. You can change the seat post height. Mine takes an Allen wrench. A lot of them have quick releases, but the way that you decide that, is first you need to get on the unicycle, and you can hold on to something, but what you need to do, is basically have one pedal pointing all the way down, and see how much your knee is bent. My knee is just a little bit bent, which means that my seat post is exactly perfect. If your seat post is too high, you're going to have to be on your tiptoes to reach the pedal. It's going to be uncomfortable, and difficult to ride. If you have it too low, your knees are going to be coming up way too high, and it will be more tiring, more exhausting, so in order to get the seat post the right height, you can lower it or higher it, and sometimes the seat post will be too long, and so you might have to cut it. You can cut it using a hacksaw or a pipe cutter. Those are both easily found at hardware stores."
