Idea for a brake for my 28" unicycle
So I came across a linear bike brake and decided that I wanted to put it on my 28" unicycle so I could put my 4" cranks back on (because it was impossible to slow down without falling back). So I was wondering if any had done this before, or If I could do it. I took a pic of where I would have to drill through the frame to mount the brake [image: http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/n.../DSCF1071.jpg] I would assume that drilling a hole through the frame wouldn't weaken it and here's the brake that I want to use [image: http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/n.../DSCF1072.jpg] I'm sure this is doable, I just need a brake line and the tubing (and some reassurance that it will work  , which I hope it does).-- Ergolicious aka Ergo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ergolicious's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17939 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74983 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I think it would work, but I think you should wait and see what others have to say about it before you go and drill it. -- Michaelgoround ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelgoround's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17218 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74983 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Yea, I was hoping for a few replies by now about it, also I should mention it's a sun 28" unicycle, sun isn't that bad really. -- Ergolicious aka Ergo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ergolicious's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17939 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74983 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Idea for a brake for my 28" unicycle
Quite a few people do that and it works really well. I dont remember if theres ever been a full guide on it, so it would be awesome if you did a walkthrough of your steps and post that in RSU and a copy of the thread in the tutorial section. I think it would help quite a lot people. -- Jerrick '*Bought it!*' (http://tinyurl.com/6ywusa) *Press Alt+F4 to fix post stretch.*[SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC]JC~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jerrick's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11632 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74983 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Idea for a brake for my 28" unicycle
If you buy the magazine "uni", issue 1 (or maybe 2) there is a tuturial on exactly this. Only difference is that that they make it a drag-brake by using an old shifter instead of a brake lever. -- 412 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 412's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14317 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74983 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

yep is was a classic move to fit brakes to cokers back in the day, I've never heard of anyone having issues wiht frame strength as a result and apparently they work well. -- 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/74983 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Idea for a brake for my 28" unicycle
Well, my dad is telling me that drilling a hole in the frame will weaken it... Not that drilling a small hole through the frame is going to be "devastating" to its strength. All I need is the brake line for it. -- Ergolicious aka Ergo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ergolicious's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17939 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74983 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
