odd feeling giraffe

Your post was hard to read. Did the pedals not screw on tight enough? Is
the chain still on the right-hand side?

If your cranks are bent, you should be able to see it if you look from
the right angles. If there's not enough to be able to see, it's probably
not enough bend to worry about.

How would the cranks have gotten bent?

BTW, if you are a relatively new giraffe rider, it never "lets you"
mount it. You have to fool it! With more practice it gets easier to
fool. 🙂

I like the idea of fooling giraffes. I should make it part of my daily
routine.

I cannot imagine how you could bend a crank on a giraffe, although I
know it happens. If that is the case, it shouldn't affect your riding
too much.

Don't give up, pal

thanks but it has never felt like this before my frame is like a upside
down Y so I cant check right angles. I could ride it ( after I fooled
it) then it (fooled me) and I cant ride any more all in the same week?

That might happen if they pedals are cross threaded, Make sure the left
pedal is on the left crank and the right pedal on the right.

I’ve done it 😄 If you put them on the wrong side they won’t go in
straight and will make the crank(s) feel bent.
Check and make sure everything is on the right (or left 😄) side.

Yes thats right I fooled my unicycle again. I figured no one knows
whats wrong(probly just the unicyle tricking my mind) I would have to
get used to it. I have freemounted it and even told my boss's sister
that I can do it. Good to see the reacation.

To me it sounds like you put them in backwards the first time, then put
them in the stripped threads the right way.
