  1. Hi,

    I am buying some new cranks for my uni just to get around on the
    street. I am buying 125mm. Are there other places to buy cranks other
    than unicycle.com? I plan on buying a Torker LX uni later on...are
    cranks interchangeable so I can buy the Torker ones now and swap'em
    later? Also, are there certain tools I need to swap cranks? Lastly, I
    think I have cotterless cranks, but am not sure. I attached a couple
    of pics of my cranks. Can anyone tell me what kind I have? Thanks for
    anwering all my questions...I don't know what I would do without you
    guys!

    -Matt 🙂

  6. I'd say just order from Udc. A bike shop doesn't usually have short
    cranks like under 175mm. They can order some for you, but they'll
    overcharge you way too much. I wanted some 150mm cranks for my old uni,
    and they wanted like 40$ for them when udc has them for like 12$.

  7. In addition to not having short cranks, most bike shops won't have
    right-side cranks without chainring spiders on them.

    You can swap cranks as often as you like.

    Is this true? I thought on cotterless that removing and reinstalling
    cranks removed a little metal or otherwise hurt the axle, and should
    therefore be kept to a minimum.

    P.S. I think splined cranks are easier to change, no crank puller.

    metal a bit.
