Broken Crank Please Help!!!

any cotterless crank will do, they're all pretty much the same. Measure
from the centre of the crank hole to the centre of the pedal hole to
check your current length, but it is almost certainly 125mm. Check the
right crank is on the right side, having the wheel backwards will cause
the pedals to unscrew and strip. If that's fine then you've just been
riding it too hard, it's not a terribly sturdy uni.

Make sure the hole in the crank you buy is in the same orientation if
you only buy one crank.

Some square taper cranks are funny like that.

Sometimes the hole is parallel with the length of the crank, other
times it's 45 degrees turned, so your cranks might not line up if you
buy an odd crank.

Try your local bike shop, sometimes they have a bin of coterless
cranks, usually only left cranks though, wish you luck either way.

if the bike shop put your uni together backward (our LBS did that to one
of our unicycles back in the dark ages) they should really be replacing
that crankset for you. I'd talk to them about it.

Uh, he's riding a Sun. The cranks he linked to may be exact matches.
Yes, I recommend starting by asking your bike shop to order them for
you (at their expense). If they claim having the cranks on the wrong
sides makes no difference, ask them why left-hand pedals are left-hand
threaded in the first place.

That was interesting, Borgschulze, I never noticed some cranks have the
square perpindicular to the length of the arm. would seem to be the
exception to the rule. The Black Widows are the only cranks I've ever
seen like that.

Also, if you happen to live in Indiana and your town matches your
screen name, there's a guy in town who knows just about everything
there is to know about unicycles. He probably has replacement cranks
for your unicycle in stock. 'The Unicycle Factory'

Some bike cranks are like that too.

I have some Shimano and SR Suntour cranks, from some low end bikes, and
one of them has the perpendicular hole.

They're really cheap. I have a pair in 127, although I haven't bent
them yet (I don't ride it too hard), they flex a lot and it's really
anoying.

If you order, I recomend 'these'

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.
