Help Please I really need to know what would work and dont really want to spend $200 -- timbob1907 forrestunifreak wrote: I'm addicted to placebo's.

You need the other kind of brake mounts. I think the evolution mounts are for putting maguras on v brake mounts. I know Darren has the other kind, I will look on webcyclery to see if they do too. The kind you need look similar to uni bearing holders. Yeah, I have never seen anyone hold the handle and brake lever with different hands. You usually have your hand on the handles and a few fingers on the brake lever. Edit, you need 'these' (http://tinyurl.com/yvras7) mounts. -- Spencer Hochberg 'BC wheel movie.'

I know nothing about breaks so will those mounts work on that brake or do i need a different style or something. -- timbob1907 forrestunifreak wrote: I'm addicted to placebo's.

Edit: okay you know that round part on the brake that is supposed to fit on the handle bars of a bike? well will they fit on 'this' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=908) sort of thing? also 'this:' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=516) I know it fits but does bedford have any of these two devices? The mounts Darren gave you are designed specifically for that brake, they will fit it just fine. The KH 24 already has a mounting tube for the brake handle underneath the saddle, so you won't need the first of those two links. The brake extender (second link) is a personal choice thing, I don't use one but depending on how you like to have the brake mounted and how big your hands are you might need one. Incidentally sets of brakes sell on ebay often and very cheap, might be worth looking for a second hand set to save some money. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58340 |

Two other places to check besides eBay: Craigslist often has great second-hand bike parts, and 'observedtrials.net' (http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=7) has a buy-sell forum that features maguras for sale pretty regularly (and for reasonable prices). -- pkittle *========================== Peter Kittle * Chico, CA "The Revolution is just a t-shirt away." --Billy Bragg ==========================* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pkittle's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12111 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58340 |

I posted a few months ago concerning brakes. Go to Bikedock and order the MISSION 4 BOLT V BRAKE ADAPTOR. Then you can put any V-brake on your Uni. V-brakes provide more than enough braking power and are much much cheaper than Magura brakes. In addition you don't have to continuously bleed the lines. Magura brakes are expensive to buy and upkeep. Go with the V-brakes. http://www.bikedock.com/posit/shop/search.php I would suggest that the major Unicycle manufacturers start manufacturing frames with V-brake posts intead of 4 bolt foundations.

If you do any kind of hard abusive riding the lines of the magura get cut, scratched, twisted and banged up pretty bad. I found that the V-brake was more than enough without the expense or hassle of a Magura.
