How to Adjust a Unicycle

Okay, now that you know everything about the unicycle, all the different parts, we're going to show you how to adjust it to your specific height, okay? What I have here is an Allen wrench tool. This one is a multi tool that has a bunch of different Allen wrenches. I like these just because, if you have a different unicycle size, you'll be able to find the right tool for it, okay? Now this, you just simply are going to adjust these Allen wrench bolts right here, okay, and that's going to allow the seat to- Here, let me take it off of here and show you what's going on here. All right, that's going to allow you to adjust the seat up and down to your specific height. All right? Now the right height is, you're going to put the wheel, the pedal, all the way at the ground right there, and you want the seat to be just under your crotch right here, okay? That's going to be the right height to get you riding on this unicycle, all right? Some people, if you're a little bit taller, I actually bought this thing and the post, whoops, the post was a little bit too long and it was going into the tire, so I actually had to get a hack saw and cut that post off right there just to make it a little bit shorter for me. But once you have it adjusted, make sure that the front handle right here is aligned perfectly with your tire, okay, because if it's not, you're going to be sitting sideways and it's going to be a lot harder to balance, and you're going to find that out, all right? So once you have your seat adjusted to your specific height, which I do right now, you're going to take your Allen wrench, you're going to tighten it back up, and then you're ready to go.
