A quite strange clicking noise..

Unicycles and Equipment

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 right foot when it passes the frame, and no, it’s not my foot that givet strange noice. I just checked, it’s the same riding backwards.
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?

is it a kh?

And… it is a 20" trainer, used for a month.
And yes, i will get a new uni as fast as possible.

14mm socket wrench

How do i tighten the crank?
And, the pedal fits, but it’s not a perfect fit, it’s bit loose, loctite!

NO NO NO

never use loctite on pedals…

take the caps off the cranks and use a 14 mm wrench to tighten them

7

oh.

Yeah, i saw that on my old pedals, the cap had gone off by itself.

i’ll try!

Why not?

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.
