I like doing a quick bounce test. If you bounce the unicycle and hear something rattle, you investigate further, sometimes it is the frame or the pedal or the seat loose, but if everything is done up tight you should get very little sound and everything feels firm.
What about lubricating the bearings? I don't know if I should use some 3 in one oil or wd40? Or will that make any grease they pack em with just leak out?
Bearings normally don't require lubricating as they are a sealed unit. You can pop the shields out of the bearings and re-pack them with grease. Oil and WD40 is just not thick enough.
Really enjoy these videos, very useful! Glad that other guy (with the glasses) was there to fact-check and correct the guy doing the tutorial!
Thanks Darrell, more videos coming soon. 👍Plus, that guy will be around keeping an eye on things. 🤣

That's a great quick way checking if anything is loose or rattling.
