make sure the unicycle is assembled correctly. there is a left and right
to all pedals and cranks the pedals will be maked on the back end of the
threading. the cranks should be marked on the inside.
what the main problem you might be having is if you ordered the unicycle
for example online and it came in a box for your own assemply you m ay
not have used a good grease to fix the pedals on. buy a tube of $6
"Phil's Brand Grease" cover your threads really really good and reinstal
the pedals onto a new set of cranks since the current ones are probably
striped.
i have damaged two sets of cranks from poorly installed pedals (one on a
Torker LX 20" in fact) and recently bought a used KH Trials unicycle
from somone who also did not install the pedals correctly and stripped
the inside. Darren Bedford did a little surgery on my cranks and re
tapped them since i had little to no options for KH crank
replacements.
if you dont mind having chrome cranks you can order a pair from Darren
at Bedford unicycles for 20$ CAD. take the uni to your LBS have them
pull the cranks off for you and re install the correct ones with grease
on the threads this time and you will likely never have to replace the
cranks agian unless you bend them doing a mad drop.
