Maintenance on a UniCycle

"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Paul Anderson from the ABC Circus and we are in Hollywood, Florida, and I'd like to show you some things about unicycles. You'll notice with all the rocking that you'll do to learn how to ride unicycle, there's one part of your wheel that's going to get used a whole lot more than another part of your wheel. This part looks pretty new and that part is worn to the threads. What you can do to get your wheel to last longer is simply deflate it and rotate the tire around so that the bare part is on a part you're not rocking on. That way you can get a lot more wear and tear out of your unicycle tire. Maintenance is important with unicycles. You need to keep and check to make sure that these pedal arms are on there solid and the pedals are completely screwed in. One loose pedal arm will shorten the life of your unicycle dramatically. Remember, anything mechanical like a unicycle needs to be well maintained."
