Introducing Orangina/Brake Handle on T7

I think I'll stick with the orange and black theme. I considered going
orange with the rim, but I don't think it would be worth the effort.

John,
Thanks for posting pics of Scot's uni. I should mention that it's not
exactly new. I think he's had it for well over a year now.

I should also note, that thanks to Megumi, my uni's now been renamed
"orange julius"

Yes, those pictures were taken on Feb. 4 of last year.

That's a better fit! Orangina, the drink, is really yellow. Yours is
the color of an Orange Julius.

I have Maguras on my Hunter 36" with T7 handle. The stock Magura brake
hose is too short to reach the part that you place your hand (hand
prong?) I ordered a hydraulic repair kit from Magura and the
replacement hose fit perfectly. See photo below.

Nice, my brake handle's on the right hand prong of the T7, if you turn
it in just slightly it doesn't get dropped on.



Ok, this might sound like a dumb question, but which is your dominant
handle holding hand? ie did you mount it on the right prong because
you've nearly always got a hand there, or because it's out of the way
and only used when you've got 2 hands on the handle?

Not a dumb question atall, I always rest my right hand on the right
prong and mounted the handle on this side, not sure i trust myself to
operate it with the left hand. There's plenty of clearance between the
prong and the brake lever to hold it wihtout the lever interferring.

Wow! 93,450 miles already! You've been going some!

Well, you've given me a dilema now. I rest my left hand on the left
prong for most of the time, and occasionally have both left and right
resting together. However, I'm not sure that I trust my left hand for
braking either. Hmmm...

I should get the brakes for this weekend, so I'll see what feels
comfortable I guess.

Alas that's the time, gauge is on 171.5 miles so far.

Does this mean if I order my brake from unicycle.com that the hose will
be too short? If so, where did you get your hose?

Thanks!
