Cody, you've got to saw the 10 buck extender off so it's only about two inches long (otherwise it hits your leg), file down the edges and screw it down tight using the super duper (red?) Loctight. I used this arrangement before I got a Wallis set up, but twice lost the thing when it screw got loose. It doesn't fit perfectly on a Magura handle but good enough if you crank it down. It makes the brake way easier to engage.

Yes, those lever extenders work. I use one on my Coker and also on my muni (when I bother to put the brake on the muni). It allows for nice controlled two finger brake action without worrying about a finger slipping off the lever. You do need to cut it shorter. It's also not a good fit on the Magura levers. You'll need to shim it up to make it fit snugly and keep it from getting loose. Figure out what kind of shimming will make it tight and snug. I used a small washer under the set screw. Do whatever works to make it tight and snug on your brake lever. -- john_childs john_childs (att) hotmail (dott) com Team Never Wash Your Muni Gallery: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/john_childs 'Unicycling Bookmark List' (http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/) :: 'World Clock' (http://tinyurl.com/a99y3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58531 |

I got used to pulling the brake as it is. -- abbabibble Cheers, Matt. maxcarriere wrote: nah, he just wants to buy the cranks to look at them and rub them on his body.. uni_jim wrote: isn't [the superbowl] like a giant dip bowl in mexico filled with salsa where everyone brings a bag of tostitos and digs in?

I wonder what it will be like if you put a car handbrake on a coker or 29er etc. -- Hazmat 1 weird and unusual greek cypriot australian destined to be different ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hazmat's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13828 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58531 |

I got one its ok but I rather just tilt the brake lever up towards the right with out the extender, but iff you cut itt down I think it would be better. anyway I think breaks kind of suck I got one for CMW thinking it would be snazzy, but even on steep sections i almost never used it now its sitting in my droor mm new unis from your koxx sponsorship?

Lol I didnt actually ask for the brake Tom kinda gave me one so that it would look more snazzy ;-). Well il hold off on the handle for now I guess, and try to get used to the way mine is, but does anyone have an pics of what the attachment looks like? -- Unicaw89 CODY [/b]FREAKING[b] WILLIAMS 'PAINFUL UNI VID!!! -----its a vid, click it ' (http://tinyurl.com/yundmf) 'RenegadeJuggling.com ' (renegadejuggling.com)'Koxx-one.com' (koxx-one.com) abbabibble wrote: Cody bent his koxx. he was working it pretty hard.

Hazmat wrote: I wonder what it will be like if you put a car handbrake on a coker or 29er etc. You can put something similar, I have seen it done on a 29er. Its basically just a drag break so you don't have to hold the break you just set it and it keeps dragging as you go down a hill. I'm glad you asked this question Cody, I'm picking up some breaks next week to finish off my muni and I was wondering the same thing. I'm using v brakes though so I will have more choice in levers. -- ntappin 'how to build a strong comfy saddle from junk.'

You can always get a scott wallis carbon brake lever instead, it curves round so you can grip it easily. -- 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/58531 |
