Re: Brake for Coker
Air brakes! It would sound so cool making that hiss after coming to a
stop. You could get one of those systems that can adjust tire pressure on
the fly, too, since you’d need an air compressor anyways.

Common’, Johnny- be realistic: a Coker would easly crush a fly. Maybe a turtle… but a fly? No, no Sir.

I posted a few pics of my Coker with brakes. http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/album40
The v-brake bosses are welded to the frame. I think Unicycle.com has, or will have, some bosses that just clamp to the frame so you don’t have to weld anything. Might be worth looking into if you don’t have access to a welder.

This V-brake setup looks like the nicest way. You can also attach a centre
mounted sidepull brake (like on old roadbikes) which only needs a hole
drilling in the frame, no welding. I think these might be called ‘caliper’
brakes or something. They clog up in mud really easily though.
