coker setup.

[unicyclepa]

you need the weld on mouns if your using the stock frame

[muzzle]

of course, that would make too much sense... if peter deicdes to sell his 36er to me then i would have to cut the existing mounts off, and then ask kindly for a friend to weld the new ones on (once the eventually arrive on special order).

question:how do i mount the coker hs-33?

According to Roger from unicycle.com, the best brake for a coker is an old fashioned caliper brake, like an old side-pull or something. Apparently better than maguras on the big coker wheel. You can fit them by just drilling a hole in the frame. Seems to work well for the people who have them fitted. They're well cheap too.

I have a random coker question.
Can you fit them in the back of the car? If not, how do you usually transport them?

I would think so, poss behind the seat.

What is pissing me off is, i'm still after a quote form UDC for a UDC coker with coker tyre and powered black frame and airfoil rim.

still nothing.

Ring them and have a chat.

PS All this talk of you buying a coker makes me want one again too. After managing to convince myself I didn't want one. Damn. Damn.

sure 3rd time lucky, and we'll see

Why put HS33's on a 36" wheel?

Although Magura's are very flexible and smooth brakes they are less than ideal for a big wheel. Big wheel flex, especially should you take them off-road, however wide your hub is and tight your spokes are. Magura brakes do not have the ability to absorb movement in a rim. A good set of V brakes are considerably cheaper and have the ability to drift with the wheel. They also have the option for adapting into drag brakes which is a great way to ride hills on a big wheel.
The other thing that should be noted is that V-brakes are not a problem for catching your legs on big wheels.

Just my 2p worth.

maybe in practice but on paper it doesn't, the hydraulic system uses a reservoir so if the rim flexes the pressure put on 1 side of the mangura brake will transfer to the other balancing the pressure the pads makes.

Now the question is how smooth are the brakes and can they handle that?

[rogeratunicycledotcom]

I am talking in practise.

I have a CrMo Blizzard frame with Magura's on. There is not enough movement on them to compensate when you are off road. It is just a physical thing there is only 5mm movement maximum before you hit the body of the magura mounts.

Good V-brakes are very smooth. Look at all the mountain bikes with them on. Remember the bigger the wheel the smoother it gets.

My coker fits in the backseat of my Toyota Corolla. I lay it vertically across the seats...part of the wheel is down near the floor though and one crank is on the middle of the backseat and the other goes in between the drivers seat and the passenger seat.
