Pit stop
A unicycle is a comparatively simple machine, requiring
only minimal maintenance. The wheel and pedals need
to bear the greatest stress. After a few days you should
ensure the spokes are tensioned correctly and the wheel
is trued. A cycle shop can do this for you.
The pedals and
crank-arms are
handed; they are
labelled “R” and “L”
for the right-hand side
and left-hand side, respec-
tively. When fitting the left-hand
components, be aware that they are
counter-threaded and so must be turned in
the opposite direction (counter-clockwise to
tighten) to the right-hand components (clock-
wise).
On the next pages, you will find general information
about unicycle components.
