crank slipage..

What kind of cranks do you have?

I always check everything before I go out on a ride. I would suggest
you do the same. My answer is: yes. Every few hard rides for me, I
have to tighten my profiles, just a bit. They don't come loose, but
the bolt isn't as tight as it's supposed to be.

Is it common for uni's for bolts to slowly slack off and need tightening
again?

As far as I've seen with my unicycles, it's a common occurence.
Tighten them up imediately and don't jump with a lose crank. It puts
wear on the tapered hole in the crank and makes it skewed (at least,
that's what it did to mine)

today, i had a hard fall right on my "boys" if you know what i mean..

i did a drop and the bolt holding my crank on was way loose and my
crank came right off...
and it was because i didnt check and make sure everything was tight
before i rode.
from now on im checking every time..

my KH is litterally off the shelf. I tightent the bolt, i don't do jumps
yet :p

I noticed when i went to tighten 1 side didn't want to and the other
did, so i tightened it.
