I’ve got my brake lever directly attached to the handle saddle, with a starfighter and tilted about 20 degrees towards the center. This makes it easily accessible to both hands. With your brake attached to the handle it does put it in a position where it is more likely to contact your leg however. I remedied this by sliding the brake forward about an inch and now I don’t notice it brushing my leg. I’m not 100% sure I’m happy with the more forward hand placement this entails though. I’ll see what I think after a couple more weeks of riding it like it is.
It would be nice to mount it dead center like the adaptor does, except the adaptor places it too far away.
Yes these are self-made. I started making my own in early 2002, no muni’s existed that I could not break off-road. Also no in frame disc that I liked so well. Everything from 20" up to the 36" Making better/stronger hubs for disc because old square taper wasn’t strong enough, used 3/4" square Primo bmx cranks back then and improved them ever since.
I have more suspension uni’s in the garage. Some are in the hands of my brothers, and sister. In total there are 21 out there with suspension and disc brake, (1) 20" prototype no brake, two tandems and several custom shaft drive giraffes for, as you guess, circus performers. I also have made disc brake adapters for the schlumpf hubs but thanks to Roger those will be available soon.
sorry I misled you, the tandems are rigid just uni/tandem, the giraffes made shaft drive to not tangle costume have been owned by Ringling bros. circus clowns for more than twenty years.(Too bad they are gone) I was describing the types of unicycles I have made. I still have more in the garage tho.
