That is exactly what I should do. I’m just so spoiled by the disc brake on my Impulse. If I were going to start with rim brakes, I could place my order tomorrow. If the KH frame don’t flex, brake rub is a non-factor. To be honest, the only reason I even considered the Triton is the weld on mount rather than a KH with a bolt on UCM. I’m not much a bling factor kind of guy.
Loving my Impulse, I insist on keeping it stock as a complete back up ride for when my Schlumpf is in the shop. I have heard that same suggestion from MountainUni1 and kb1jki but I think they are just digging the irony of mounting a UCM on an Impulse frame.
well, Idunno if it’s proper to brag about someone else’s rig, but…
OK, I clipped off the brake-pad-tab, attached the brake to the adapter and actually rode the first Mountainuni disc-brake equipped KH/Schlumpf unicycle in the world!
Set-up particulars:
I moved the disc as far inward (left) as possible, with all 4 washers between the spider and rotor, because the brake was all the way to the right, and still seemed to be rubbing on the outside of the rotor. This leaves a VERY small clearance between rotor and frame, like a mm. So I might go back out (right)…
The Schlumpf/Uni-Caliper Mount-MountainUni disc/Kh works, why wouldn’t it work on an impulse frame? (Yeah, it’s ironic to put MountainUni disc on an Impulse frame, but why fix what ain’t broke? The impulse is a beautiful frame, Then again so is the KH and Triton for that matter… I understand your dilemma!)
