lowriders, how low is your seat?
« on: December 05, 2008, 09:17:45 PM »
I'm thinking of getting the new khe seat/post combo,
since its low it probably won't hit the ground so I'm not worried with it breaking,
I'm more worried about how a low seat will feel doing front wheel tricks.
I will give it a try and practice back wheel tricks, 90's style...

Who rides low?

It's at about the bottom of my stem. I did it so i don't have to pick up on my seat as much

lower than most flat riders flag poles, but higher than street riders speed bumps

Haha! That's was not only spot on but funny.... flag poles...  ;D

I run mine like in the pic below...it's great for back wheel stuff not so great for seat grabbing trix...lower seat can get in the way of lardyards though....but I like it lower....

accually mike, it's the other way around. maybe for footwedge style tricks, but not really anything where you have to push the tire with your foot.
