I know this has been talked about in past theads, but can someone help me to find what it is that makes the clicking and feel of an 1/8" of slop as you pedle the DX. Every thing is tight and I can’t find the sound or feel it when I turn the pedles By hand or try to force them by hand. I took everything apart and put it back together all looks good. Thanks for any help. Mack
Please put threads like these in RSU because they’re unicycling related.
Your legs are much, much stronger than your arms. The symptoms make it sound like a loose crank. You could try tightening the crank nuts (bolts? I think they’re nuts on the DX). I frequently get this with my Coker cranks now that the broached squares on the cranks are somewhat worn. I can’t move the cranks by hand but can easily tighten the bolts noticeably. If you can tighten the nuts 1/4 turn or more, that was it.
Clicking noises are frequently made by bad bearings in pedals. You wouldn’t be feeling the slop for that problem, though.
I retightened everything. this DX is brand new. It has a splind hub and cranks and the bolts holding the cranks in as well as the ones clamping them around the hub splines are all tight. Still the same. Mack
Well, if the hub doesnt wobble when you take them by hand and move them up and down then it could be your spokes. You said the uni is new, so they probably arent tensioned very well.
Also, what happened with me on my new DX, was after a few drops, the reflectors on the pedals came loose, and would click every time I pedaled. So it could also be that.
You mean like 1/8" play between forward and back ?
Spinning the pedals and moving them by hand will revel any slop. Likewise it sounds like you have the cranks on tight. Sometimes the cranks on my 05 KH 24 have worked a bit loose. I could sense something while I was riding, then feel the play moving them by hand.
So if those aren’t your troubles, I think you may have a rare "axle to hub " problem. I have never removed the axle from my uni’s, I think it is keyed or something, maybe pressed in to.
It’s a bitch that you have a Torker. They use a unique bearing size so they can screw you out of 15 $ if you need to remove or replace a bearing. 
Certainly at least one bearing must come off (pulling a bearing generally will ruin it). Some sizes for other uni’s can be bought for 1 $ ! 
Uh, to remove your axle from the hub, one bearing must come off.
If there is no play in your cranks( make sure ), pedals are fine, 1/8 " slack such as you describe must be coming from the axle to hub interface.
Put one crank in a vise. Then twist the wheel. If you feel play, it is at the axle to hub connection. This is a very bad problem. Hopefully they will give you a new hub under warranty. There is no easy way to fix this. You need a new axle-hub assembly I think, and then will have to lace it to your old rim. There is hope maybe they will give you a new wheel assembly, if the uni is not so old. Otherwise, you have learned the hard way, that in the long run, a KH is cheaper than a Torker.
hmm
if you can feel the slop, it isn’t the spokes, you would have screwed your uni by now.
if it is the keyway, torker should replace that, unless your bikeshop people are … ahem … not resourcefull…
torker is cheaper than KH in the longrun. thats all there is to it. my torker was fully upgraded from an 05 torker and it cost me $350 total. my great deal on my KH got me the uni at $371.50 … i don’t care what they say or do, the best deal to me is the nimbus, but after that it has to be the torker dx. it is a beast of a unicycle, only 3 or 4 have been broken (it takes a lot, mine was one of them)
it sounds like your keyway is loose. the way to check that is if you move one crank with the wheel solid on the ground… if the other moves thats your problem and it is covered under the warranty, unless you go to my lbs…
Well that was the trouble. I wedged the wheel into a corner and yes moving one crank moves the other at least an 1/8 of an inch at the pedal so I agree that it is a loose keyway.Now I just need to get in touch with Bikesourse and see what they will do. Thanks for everyones help. Mack
