UDC back in stock / New Nimbus 27.5 Muni

Now I’m tempted to build a uni with two independent brakes. On a handle saddle one could mount a lever on each side… :joy:

Funnily enough I vaguely seem to recall @UniMyra once talking about putting two brakes on a unicycle, along these lines

As you know I had my eyes on that particular uni for some time now. Would you mind supplying close up pictures of the bearing housing?

You can zoom in the picture. Then you should see it. It is the standard cup used by most steel forks. I have been using it for about 3 months and am satisfied (of course, I test my material)

We do have them in the UK… they are just not showing on the site at the moment, not sure why. Will check out tomorrow

You can also do this with only one disk with a shimano inline lever.

@rogeratunicycledotcom I still do not see it. Did you work out why? Also are there other new products we are missing [rubs hands hopefully]?

Gockie, I just received my URC 29er. Its a great uni.

No, this wouldn’t give me two independent brakes, only two levers. :wink:

We’ve wavered off topic now, but the double socket frames lead to an interesting idea: Mount one calliper on each and connect them to a single lever via a hose splitter, such as this one. Of course, you’d need a hub with two disc attachment points (do those exist?), and probably also rebuild the wheel to account for the symmetric brake loads… maybe not such a good idea, but imagine that brake force!

This is the only full product we have a problem with. The website just does not want to show it. It apparently is a database problem and it seams to be stuck on this product. Fingers crossed it goes live tomorrow.
We would also like the “what’s new” slider to work for you…

You don’t. You have a hub with a disk attachment point for the first disk and you run KH Spirit Disc cranks to attach the second one. Plus a M4O frame

Or the new Nimbus frame :wink:

Yes, I’m curious to see this fabled beast!

it would be easily possible to make a hub with 2 internal discs. Then you could mount the 2nd brake on the other side. The spoke width is smaller But with the 120mm Fatty hub it wouldn’t be a problem. Nice mind game, but the unicycle market and demand is too small for things like that. You always have to produce a series. That means a lot of investment

Sorted. :slight_smile:

A long time ago… we produced a Qu-Ax penny farthing with Oracle 36" forks and duel brake.

This was for Mike Penton and he has just told me that it is up for sale.

Yeah! :+1:

Nice except the description can use a little update, you do not need a D’brake adaptor to attach a disc brake to it as it already has the mount :slight_smile:

Yep good point. Personally I did not really read it until now.

In this image you see both the disc hub and the brake tab. You literally just need a brake and some way to mount the brake leaver.

Thanks, updated. :slight_smile:
