I bought this China made unicycle (http://muniorbust.blogspot.com/2009/08/syds-new-ride.html) on ebay last month and it came with an interesting information sheet (http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn287/ionymous/Scan001.jpg).
I found some parts entertaining, so I transcribed it for you all (I removed the strange hyphen placements for readability):
