try profile hub + cranks or buy mountainbike-downhill cranks. I think the right size is 140mm for downhill, uphill and trials

We’re expecting shipment of Monty 140-mm crank arms, hopefully in time
for Unicon. This is a new product and has not been rated. As far as we
know, no unicycle crank has been rated to 1m drops.
My son Casey (160 pounds) frequently rides off 2 and 3 foot drops on
his United trials with Suzue hub and it’s held up well, but I know it’s
only a matter of time before it fails. At present, there are no
commercially available unbreakable unicycle hub/cranksets. If one did
exist, we suspect that it would be too heavy for practical use. The
Poznanter/Profile hub is the best we currently have, and if it fails
it’s covered by a lifetime warranty.
