Need a new saddle/post for a beginner.
Sounds like you are using a cheap uni. I would say either buy and new
uni, such as a Torker LX, or go to unicycle.com and check too see what

I agree with every one, start with the Torker LX. I started with a 20"

Torker Lx Hub replacement
I destroyed a LX hub one time too. I realized it was not worth the
