Wierd click

I just got a new Nimbus II 24 inch unicycle a few weeks ago. I haven't
had any falls that could have messed the pedals up at all yet. About a
couple days after I got it, I noticed that after riding for about a
minute, the right pedal would make a clicking noise. It's been doing
it since. It happens every rotation and I can also feel it a little.
It's done it on the left pedal too but not as much. I took out both
pedals yesterday and cleaned the crank so there's no dirt or anything.
Then today I rode and it did it again. Once it starts it doesn't stop.
I think it might just be the pedals. Any ideas of what it is and how to
fix it.

Thanks

Not to make you feel stupid but, check your shoelaces.

I actually already did. That was one of the first things I checked but
that's not the problem. Thanks anyways though.

Just for add in. Sometimes it makes two quick clicks and sometimes
it's just one.

Glad you asked. I've got a unicycle that I put new cranks and pedals
on, and getting a similar click. Actually it'll make 2 or 3 clicks
each revolution, with the clicks right together, not spaced out.
Funky pedals? I tried oiling them and no change.
Wheel flexing and spokes clicking together where they cross?
Loose but not broken spoke clicking the rim each revolution? New
wheel, and I can't tell anything is loose or anything.

It doesn't do it when I rotate by hand, even when I try to put pressure
on it. Sometimes, after I've ridden 45 minutes or so, it will stop.

I've heard that sometimes the pedal axle might not be perfectly straight
and that can cause it. I could prbably stick my friends' pedals in my
cranks and see if there is still a noise. I'm really hoping it's just
the pedals cause I just spent well over $200 and I don't want to have a
defective unicycle. Anyways, the more ideas about what might be wrong
the better so keep responding please.

Thanks

I had a clicking noise on mine and it ended up being loose bearing caps
on the bottom of the forks.

I had this problem with the Odyssey Twisted plastic pedals. It happened
on the left pedal on both of the odyssey plastic pedals I had purchased!
Never a problem with any other pedal.

Try different pedals out and see if that fixes it.

I will try other pedals tomorrow and see what happens. I'll let you
know.

Also, check that your cranks are on the right sides, and that the pedals
are in the correct cranks.

I had that same problem, I'm not sure what it was but I eventually got
so ****ed off at it that I threw the whole unicycle in the middle of
the street and I haven't had a problem since. Worked for me but I don't
recommend doing that... I got a pretty nice crack in my seat frame in
the process
