Definately get the left crank arm as soon as possible. Riding with a
right side crank arm in place of the proper crank will most likely cause
the pedal to loosen and possibly screw up the threads on both the pedal
and crank arm:eek:

Yeah two right pedals from different sets. Meaning the right pedal on
the left side will loosen and cause damage.

I agree with Tomblackwood. a certain well known unicycle distributor has
done this 'many times before'
(http://geocities.com/unicuber/unicycledotcom.html)....
just call up unicycledotcom, 1-800-UNICYCLE, and tell them your problem.
they might have you send the uni back, or they might send you a new
crank arm. act really angry/upset about it and they might throw in a
free t-shirt. (: just kidding, that would be mean. but yes, you should
call them. unicycledotcom is horrible at getting the orders right the
first time, but they're excellent at fixing their mistakes.

From KH cycles. I could be wrong, but the crank mix-up most likely
happened at the factory, or wherever the cycles are boxed up. If it was
ordered with custom cranks, or if the cranks are added later, this
mistake happened at the distributor or reseller.

In any case, good luck in your search for a unicycle vendor who will
never make mistakes! If it was Unicycle.com, they will most likely ship
you 1 left crank and let you keep the "spare."

true but how unfortunate as a costomer testimonial...the waiting time
for these mistakes is the worst part, no refunds on time.

Jombo recently took his uni to the LBS for an upgrade and tune-up. He
ended up with 2 left cranks. Is there a trend here? Sounds like a
conspiracy.😉 The LBS made good on their screw-up. Now Jombo has a spare
left crank.

I totally agree this is not a retailer fault. The problem is with the
unicycle at the factory end. It is also a fault that has not been
reported before. We are now aware of it and we will be adding it to the
check list of other things that we already check on each of the
unicycles that go out.

The best solution for this problem or any other similar is to contact
the retailer about it first, they then know about the problem and can
rectify it as quickly as possible.

just so everybody knows i had to get it from unicycle.uk.com because it
was out of stock in the good ol' U S of A. i cant contact them by phone
because no matter how hard i try it always says that "this phone number
is not correct" i even tried using a phone card. so i gues im emailing
them today hopefully i might end up with a spair right crank. anywho how
hard is it to get the cranks on straight? i mean on cotterless cranks
there's only four possible positions for the crank to go. on a 36 spline
hub is there 36 possible positions? or does it not work like that? would
it be much easier to take it to my LBS seeing as im not an extremely
adept mechanic? thanks for all your help everyone.

p.s. what does tacoed mean?

It's easy to get the cranks on straight even with 36 or 48 little
splines. You can eyeball it up to see if it's straight when you put the
cranks on. Nothing tricky.

The hard part though can be getting the cranks off the first time. The
KH cranks have an integrated crank puller that pulls off the crank as
you undo the crank bolt. But that still doesn't guarantee an easy
removal. If you have a difficult time getting the crank to come off
then you might need to take it to a bike shop where they can do it.
When you put the new crank on put some anti-seize on the splines to make
the crank easier to get off the next time (and to prevent rust and
possible creaking noises).

Taco is a term for a bent up wheel. When a wheel gets knocked on the
side really good it can end up in the shape of a Pringles potato chip or
in extreme cases a taco shell. Hence the term taco.

Just to clarify, anti-sieze is like a silvery paste that you put on with

Yup. It's a fancy type of grease that you can get at an auto parts
store. Anti-seize can be coper colored or silver colored. It depends
on what type of metal flakes they mix in with the grease.
