Try a new seat, anything else you would be best waiting and saving your cash for a new unicycle, maybe something a bit stronger if you get better at trails?

yeah
the main upgrade you would want is the frame, butthe Kh frame is too expensive, so either get a Kh or just go w/ a seat or something, actually just reshape your foam in your seat.

Why? That uni is super strong.

If you want a lighter trials, just save your money and get a whole KH.

Or wait untill you break the seatbase and get a CF one.

i'm accually looking into a K1. nothing is for certain yet but i was just getting some food for thought. so thanks for everything so far. i'm not a heavy person (95 lbs.) so im more concerned with saving weight than gaining stength.

Try plastic pedals

Super light, and the weight comes off the outer rotating mass. I think they don't get a fair try just because they cost less then 15 $ I am using these on my KH now. They are as light as the most $ up metal pedals. You will feel the difference.

I did this to my DX seat.

Just plied the staples out, cut the foam to what I wanted, and put the cover back on. Don't staple the cover on too tight, or else it will cause easy ripping in sections. Keep it snug, but give it some slack too.

I would of jsut got the fusion cover, but I didn't want to pay that much money for one.

NOO! KHs are lighter and you'll be much more satisfied when you ride it.
