bandor said:The plastic dust caps on my unicycle keep popping off. I had the same
problem on my old unicycle, but I eventually lost them, and didn't have
to keep worrying about them. They don't seem to screw in--they just pop
in, and consequently, seem to pop out just as easily. Is there some way
to keep these things in?
You need to find dust caps that actually thread on rather than press
on.
Best bet is for actual metal dust caps that thread on. They'll stay in
place. They won't pop out. There are some good quality plastic dust
caps that won't fall out, but most plastic ones are not good quality.
The problem is finding the proper metal dust caps. They're old-school
now. Bikes are now using self-extracting crank bolts that have an
integrated dust cap. So the old style quality metal dust caps can be
hard to find now.
'UDC USA has some'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=736) that I think are
metal but I'm not sure.
Or ask around at local bike shops, especially shops that carry used
bicycle equipment. eBay is another source.
