Default Help: Torker Unistar CX Seat keeps turning


The seat on my unicycle has started to turn a lot (whenever i get on,
whenever I am doing turns, etc.) and it makes riding very hard.

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

I've tried tightening the seat post but to no avail.

Tighten the clamp as tight as you can.

I had the same problem on my 24" DX, but not as bad. I had to hit the
lever real hard w/ the palm of my hand several times while wearing my
wrist brace (it hurt my palm too much w/o the brace when I had it that
tight).

If that doesn't work, put some deep scratches in the post w/ the pointy
edge of a square or triangular file, making it look kind of like it was
knurled. This will make bits of raised metal, making your post act
like it's slightly larger in diameter when clamping it.

are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist

You probably have the quick release clamp, you can tighten those by
first loosening the little lever, then holding it to keep it from
turning and tighten the round part on the other side. Then push the
lever back down again, and it should be tighter this time.
