brake lever mounting
How did everyone mount their brake levers on their muni? I tried using pipe straps to secure a pipe to which I mounted the lever on underneath the seat, but I couldn't get the bolts on because they hit the straps. Pictures would be great. -- catinabag1 Aqua Teen Hunger Force Rules!

Unicycle.com sells an underseat post that attaches to your front handle.

It will work. All modern seats (KH, Nimbus, Koxx) use the same Velo seat base. Meaning the bolt pattern is the same on all of them. -- Conrad.Nguyen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conrad.Nguyen's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17499 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71944 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

brake lever mounting
so i hick engineered a mount using tubing and a pipe strap. i ended up sticking a piece of rubber between the tube and the pipe strap to create more friction. we'll see how long it lasts. it seems pretty solid. if this fails i'll go ahead and order the proper mounting hardware. -- catinabag1 Aqua Teen Hunger Force Rules!

brake lever mounting
I mounted my brake on the underseat post but couldn't easily reach the handle. I found a simple solution, cut a 1cm wide end off a PVC pipe and ziptie it to the brake handle. I like the loop, I can just stick my finger in and hang on for long downhills, even in muni. I don't have a good closeup, but its simple, and seen from a distance in the pict below -Ro [image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rolandi...605602863789/] -- rolandisimo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rolandisimo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13769 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71944 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
