New kh20 squeaking ? strange noise
what's so hard about getting a shifter and tightening the spokes? no need for paying anyone money to do a monkeys job, and no spesh tools needed... maybe just a bit more patience when using a shifter. my pos ebay uni used to make a bad groan groan groan with each revolution and all it took was a small shifter, some time, my fingers to squeeze each spoke and test how much give it had and tighten as necessary... then yes ofcourse spin the wheel and check it's alignment and adjust the necessary spokes to bring the wheel back to center. dude just get your uni, flip it over, and squeeze pairs of spokes with your hand and see if they move. if they clearly do then there's atleast A problem there, and as a few have said probably THE problem. takes like 10 seconds to check them all and see if anythings funky or not!

Noise on KH unicycles can be a problem, *IF *noise worries you. Usually this is not a problem mechanically. Check that you have some grease on the splines. Spokes can be properly tensioned but still creak. They won't break but can annoy you. Just learn to ride and accept weird noises Check that everything is generally tight (not overdone). -- onebyone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ onebyone's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10014 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70264 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I'm guessing, but it's USA wrench, UK spanner, and down under a shifter. And enough with the "take it to the LBS shop" advice , OK ? Do you really think we are so stupid that we don't know that we can pay people at bike shops to fix our wheels ? Buy a spoke wrench, read a little bit, and figure it out. It's like rubic's cube, except 100 times easier, and you got to learn to do it, whereas you can blow off rubics cube, and not be so lame.
