I’ve put together seven sets of these Magura HS22/HS33 brakes that blend the bomb-proof HS22 large diameter hydraulic cylinder with the shorter adjustable HS33 lever blade (the one with the red TPA adjustment knob). This brake set-up is KH spooner compatible (tho the spooner shown isn’t for sale)
I have these in several Magura colors: red, day-glo yellow, caterpillar yellow, black and several in a dark blue that matches Kris Holm’s blue exactly. Let me know if you want to see pictures of which ever colors you are interested in.
Why??
Some riders like to keep more distance between the brake pads and the rim than the small-ish hydraulic piston in the modern HS33 will allow. Aggressive MUNI, 36er and 36er/Schlumpf hub owners can have difficulty keeping brake pads from rubbing under acceleration or idling, so, I’ve assembled a Magura “franken-brake” combination using HS33 and HS22 parts.
This is the second batch of these I’ve made. I’ve ridden one of these on my single speed KH36 for eight months/several hundred miles now and It has worked out great, with no brake pad rubbing at all and the nifty red TPA knob lets me dial in exactly where the brake pads rest when not braking.
Includes:
• Really the only semi-custom part here is the lever: I start with a good used HS22 lever body that I clean, inspect and reassemble with a slightly modified good used pre-2005 HS33 lever blade. I then fill in the extra pivot pin width with precisely ground and polished stainless steel metric washers (see close-up picture). This lever combination will drive the brake pads 14.3 mm (both sides added together) compared to the anemic 10mm travel that the shorter stock HS33 lever provides.
Comes with whatever length brake line and crossover you want, lightly used black brake pads or new black pads for $6 more - and are bled and tested for proper function and leaks on my custom brake testing jig. I also replace all worn parts with new so you get a world class unicycle brake for less dough than you’d pay for new.
These brakes will fit on any Kris Holm unicycle: 20, 24, 29 and 36 or any brand of unicycle (Hunter, Nimbus, etc) or bike that comes with dedicated four-bolt Magura mounts that look like this: http://www.inspiredbicycles.com/imag...own-mounts.jpg and a place to mount a lever under the saddle like this: http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=908
Comes with what you see in the pictures, so you will still need to get a set of Magura four bolt mounts like this : http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=907 to mount the brake on your unicycle. And, yes this brake is compatible with the KH spooner.
PAYMENT AND SHIPPING:
PAYPAL works best for me, but money orders are also ok.
$80 USD per wheel and add another $5 for USPS Priority Mail shipping in the US (2-3 days) and $10 for first class shipping to Canada (7-9 days). I ship the day after I receive funds.
BRAKE LINE LENGTH:
I’ll set up your brake with whatever length of brake line you want from 18" on up to 30". I can also help you determine the right length of brake line for your leg length and unicycle wheel size. Just ask.
BLEEDING / TESTING:
I flush and bleed all brakes with fresh Magura blue blood before I test, pack and ship your brake. Bleeding hydraulic brakes is messy and no fun - and so you won’t have to deal with fluid leaks, after I assemble and bleed them with fresh Magura blue blood, I test them all for function and leaks by putting the wheel cylinders into a custom test jig that I made. There, I’ll cycle the brake pistons under full power to check for leaks without having to bolt them up to a unicycle frame.
MORE BRAKES AND PARTS:
Want something else you don’t see here? I also have other Magura brake sets for sale (HS11, stock HS22’s and some HS33’s too) and I repair Magura rim brakes if you have a set that leaks, needs new tubing or a crossover, repair or just bleeding.
