Double left?

So i off-squared my crank arms, right? i'm in my local bike shop and i ask the guy if he has any cranks that could replace mine. he looks at my uni for a couple seconds before telling me "there are two left side cranks on your unicycle and one of them has been rethreaded for a right side pedal." is this standard on unicycles? if so, why? if no, could this be why my cranks broke? -- TheBadger587 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheBadger587's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5576 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/31166

I doubt it was two left cranks, unless they were both left
threads. Maybe he was mistaken, and he thought that because
the right crank had no sprocket thingy, that it was a left
crank originally. It is standard for unicycles to have left
and right cranks, just like bikes except without the
sprocket for a chain.

I've bent a right crank before, and the bike shop (I didn't
know of any other place to buy parts) sold me a second left
crank. I rode around with two left cranks and two left
pedals. Strangely I never had any problem with the right
left crank's pedal coming undone because I did it up nice
and tight. Eventually I snapped both sides of the cheap
taiwanese hub.

You can order unicycle cranks from specialist unicycling
shops such as 'Unicycle.com' (unicycle.comunicycle.com).
They can also sell you a better unicycle with splined cranks
and hub, which will not bend as easily as the crappy soft
square taper ones.
