Will this brake fit on a KH 24?
Webcyclery
Is there any thing that i could do to make it fit or things that i need to buy.
Help Please:(
I really need to know what would work and dont really want to spend $200
also do you use the same hand thats holding the handle for pressing the brake?
You need the other kind of brake mounts. I think the evolution mounts are for putting maguras on v brake mounts. I know Darren has the other kind, I will look on webcyclery to see if they do too. The kind you need look similar to uni bearing holders.
Yeah, I have never seen anyone hold the handle and brake lever with different hands. You usually have your hand on the handles and a few fingers on the brake lever.
Edit, you need these mounts.
Darren already gave me those on my last order for free. I know nothing about breaks so will those mounts work on that brake or do i need a different style or something.
Edit: okay you know that round part on the brake that is supposed to fit on the handle bars of a bike? well will they fit on this sort of thing?
also this: I know it fits but does bedford have any of these two devices?
The mounts Darren gave you are designed specifically for that brake, they will fit it just fine.
The KH 24 already has a mounting tube for the brake handle underneath the saddle, so you won’t need the first of those two links. The brake extender (second link) is a personal choice thing, I don’t use one but depending on how you like to have the brake mounted and how big your hands are you might need one. Incidentally sets of brakes sell on ebay often and very cheap, might be worth looking for a second hand set to save some money.
Two other places to check besides eBay: Craigslist often has great second-hand bike parts, and observedtrials.net has a buy-sell forum that features maguras for sale pretty regularly (and for reasonable prices).
V-Brake adaptors.
I posted a few months ago concerning brakes.
Go to Bikedock and order the MISSION 4 BOLT V BRAKE ADAPTOR.
Then you can put any V-brake on your Uni. V-brakes provide more than enough braking power and are much much cheaper than Magura brakes. In addition you don’t have to continuously bleed the lines. Magura brakes are expensive to buy and upkeep. Go with the V-brakes.

I would suggest that the major Unicycle manufacturers start manufacturing frames with V-brake posts intead of 4 bolt foundations.

You don’t have to continuously bleed maguras, infact you only have to bleed them when you change the length of the pipes. My entire upkeep cost for 2 years has been zero.
Magura Brakes
If you do any kind of hard abusive riding the lines of the magura get cut, scratched, twisted and banged up pretty bad. I found that the V-brake was more than enough without the expense or hassle of a Magura.

i would put a v brake on my 36" nimbus but apparently it doesnt fit.
Try this Contraption.
Try the adaptor seen in the picture. There is even and article in Uni magazine on how to do it!
I know that Municycle.com used to sel this adaptor.
Unicorn
That would work but . . .
You could defintely get a better price at a bycicle shop and not have to pay postage. Also you need to make sure that you have either a pair of the 4 bolt adaptors If you have Magura brake mounts or that U adaptor.

Yeah i guess that is a better idea, If it doesn’t fit your frame. You may want to ask if they do customised versions. 
so the nimbus 36" has the 4 bolt thingy for maguras. is there any way i can get a cheap v brake on there?
i dont think a v brake fits on there cause of the support bar over the back, or would it?
It’s possible, I went to a bike shop and had mine custom made.
what exactly did you get custom made?
The brakes and clamps
Yeah if you got a set of V-brakes with really long arms then the cable would clear across the top of the frame. Probably need atleast 5" though.
i dont really wanna have to pay 40 or so $ to get the parts to attach the brakes to the frame from UK.
i’ll go see sizing out from my bike as i’ll probably use the back brake off their if it looks like it would work.
now, how to attach the v brake to the 4 bolt fitting wouthout actually buying the part, hmm.
