  1. Yesterday, i slipped from my pedals, and ended out hurting myself a
    bit.
    Last night, i complained of my slippy pedals.
    Today, i bought some (probably noname or something like that) aluminium
    bmx pedals (no pictures, doh. ), for 100 SEK, 11 euros or ~14 dollars,
    they provide a good grip, and gets nasty cold when i've been riding
    outside, in -10°C.

    But now, when i "walked" my dog (riding my uni, of course), i noticed
    this wierd noice.
    It's a clicking from the right pedal/crank, or at least, i feel it in my
    foot, and no, it's not my foot that givet strange noice.
    It is clicking just as the crank passes the frame, and when i got
    inside, i tried it riding backwards, and sure thing, it was there.
    When i was in earlier, it felt strange riding in my basement, like
    something was loose or so. But i checked pretty much everything i know
    how (meaning pedal and bearinghouses and the spokes), but noting was
    loose or bent.
    And today, i learned to jumpmount, don't know if it's a suicide mount, i
    place the crancs horizontaly, holds the uni in front of me, jumping up,
    releases the seat with my hand, and lands on the pedals, and then
    sitting down in the saddle.

    Anyway, what could it be?
    The pedal still spins around its axle as good as when i bought it...
    What should i do to find out what's wrong?

    A jump mount, not a suicide mount. For a proper suicide mount you have
    to release the seat (or other part of the uni) before you leave the
    ground.

    No, 9/16" is 14.2875 mm.
