maxisback · 2005-12-19, 11:24 PM

no all I ahve been using is those cheaps allu ones.. bedford sales carbonfiber ones .. think that would be pretty strong ?

Thompsons are crazy strong and also really light. Thats what Id get.

unicyclepa · 2005-12-20, 02:25 AM

get a thomson there the best it wont break but there like 70$. you can get cheaper ones on ebay. you need a rail adapter to

maxisback · 2005-12-20, 03:06 AM

will any rail adapter fit ? or I need a certain kind ?

boo radley · 2005-12-20, 03:15 AM

a rail adapter will break if you're already breaking seat posts

maxisback · 2005-12-20, 03:16 AM

gosh.. so what should I do ? anyone here knows if the carbon fiber seat post is strong ?

gerblefranklin · 2005-12-20, 03:49 AM

What you should do is stop breaking seatposts by improving your technique.

A decent rail adapter shouldn't break... But if they do, buy a Scott Wallis cf base. They're expensive but worth it. That, combined with a thomson seatpost, will be stronger than anything you can throw at it.

I'm going to second this observation. The Wallis CF base is the ultimate upgrade for your unicycle. It negates the need for a rail adapter but gives you all of the freedom of a rail-mounted seat (i.e. adjustable angle). And you're going to break yourself before you even scratch this base.

If you wanna save about $50 you can get yourself a Primo Rod seatpost... it's way heavier than the Thomson but comparable in strength.
