AND UMMMM duz anyone know any vids with someone using a nimbus isis trials 20" in a trials or street vid?
At the start of this thread you were asking which components to buy to improve the uni you hadn't got yet. Well, this might sound like a crazy idea, but why not spend $20-30 on a new saddle? that's only a dollar a bruise! Plus it'll breath a new lease of life into the uni. It doesn't need to be an expensive one, just as long as it'll last untill your new uni arrives.

You will probably have to pay the extra postage but they might say yes, and it will save your leg till June.

When I got my coker, i noticed that it came with a very slim seat, very much like a KH seat. So, i just swapped the coker seat with my torker dx seat (which is comfy, but horrible for tricks) and i came up with the best possible combination. I love the tiny seat, cuz it makes unispinning sooo much easier, along with being lighter and better for freestyle/street riding.

So, long story short. Get a new unicycle. Get a nice seat. Learn some awesome tricks.

do you ride your giraffe often? if not then you should swap the seat from your giraffe with the seat on your 20" unicycle it will be better for tricks.

To fix the giraffe just lay it on the ground and stand on it. Maybe bounce a little, but be very careful. You should be able to bend it back ok. Get some help when you do it though.
The seat on the other hand--- I would possibly suggest borrowing the one off your giraffe. You can only use on unicycle at a time can't you! Other than that, take the whole seat apart and try to rebuild it with lots of ducttape!

Well if the picture of the giraffe unicycle is correct then you could easily cut down the seatpost without any trouble. Then it would fit both unicycles.

unbolt the seat from your giraffe's seatpost and bolt it onto the seatpost of your 20" unicycle then bolt the seat from your 20" unicycle onto your giraffe's seatpost....
