This kit uses a BMX type caliper brake; it will not fit a 3" tire. This type of brake is mounted through a hole in the frame crown and most commonly used on a road 29" or 36" unicycle.

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: http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81006 (pics later in thread) http://unicyclist.com/forums/showpos...&postcount=113 (an even simpler adapter) |

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
