I was looking at the sunlite mx brake kit on unicycle.com and have a few questons. 1.) Are they any good 2.) will they work for muni 3.)will they fit on nimbus 24 muni with a 3" wide tire 4.) if any one has one could you post a review.
This kit uses a BMX type caliper brake; it will not fit a 3" tire. It’s ideal for a road 29" or 36" unicycle and is mounted through a hole in the frame crown.

If you’re looking for an inexpensive brake a long armed V-brake can work. I’m using a Tektro 857AL with 110mm arms on a muni.
You’ll need to make some cheap adapters:
one way to put V-Brakes on Mag mounts (pics later in thread)
Post Your Current Projects Here (an even simpler adapter)
thank you very much
Not quite as simple although you don’t need an aluminum plate for the mount. This is my design using centerpull brakes. Although a bit more complex it may yield a bit more stopping power. http://unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92005
