Idea for a brake for my 28" unicycle
I did that and it worked very well. The small hole won't compromise the strength of the frame. -- saskatchewanian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ saskatchewanian's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14180 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74983 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

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. yes it will weaken it, but not enough to cause the frame to fail by any means -- 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 |

Don't worry about weakening the frame - it's a common modification (mostly on cokers, but a 29er frame is no different at the crown) and nobody has snapped a frame because of it as far as I know.

to the person who inquired where to by 28" tubes: you can use a 700c type found in hybrid and road type bicycles. in other words, anywhere. it should say on the side wall what number you need like 700X__ __ -- mmenghe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mmenghe's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/18213 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74983 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
