Odd creaking noise

Hey everyone, lately my unicycle has been creaking everytime i make a
revolution. I think it might be one of the spokes, I was curious as to
how to check if the spokes are right. My dad says if they are the same
length out, they're okay. How do you guys check?

just shake them a little, to see if they're loose.. it doesn't REALLY
matter that much if there's a sound, but it's fixable.. think you need
to tighen the spokes.. if so, you would want someone who knows how to
do it to do it because if you do it wrong it would suck..

just go around your wheel doing 1/4 turns on each spoke nipple. If there
are seriously loose ones, just tighten those the the same as others,
then do the 1/4 turn thing til it stops creaking, but dont overdo it,
since you could end up breaking spokes.

it could also be your pedals. I know that after a while the bearings
get kinda beat up and/or dirty and they creak.
