  1. Good day one and all. I have a creak......yes a creak I say.
    I have a dm ringmaster which has been well ridden, dropped
    and generally thrown about the place, and I've noticed a
    creak emanating from the wheel. It seems to creak more when
    my right foot is down. I think this may be because when I
    hop I nearly always put most pressure on my right foot and
    have the right pedal back. What I was wondering was whether
    it would be most likely to be my hub, or spokes, or cranks
    or what. If anyone could shed some light on the matter it'd
    be much appreciated, as I have a horrible feeling that
    pretty soon it'll be one hop too many and I'll have a whole
    bunch of unicycle spares up for sale.

  2. have you tightened your spokes since you got it?

    I bet it's your spokes, get them tensioned properly if you
    don't know how. Unproperly tensioned spokes are begging for
    a chance to ruin your wheel

  3. you can most likely tell if it is your spokes...

    go around the wheel squeezing pairs of spokes together
    (neighbouring spokes on the same side)

    you will most likely find some that are alot looser than the
    others. Chances are, they may be so loose that you can spin
    the nipples with your fingers.
