  1. im looking at the hs-33 brake without the steal braided hoses thats
    $112. It comes with a brake booster that says standered size. does this
    mean it will fit a 3inch tire?

  3. The standard boosters will not fit a 3" tire. There is a GB4 booster
    that will fit a 3" tire.

    Best bet is to go with the 'two bolt trials style mount'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=549) instead of the
    post style mount. The post style mount needs a booster to keep the
    brake cylinders from rotating inwards when your legs rub against them.
    The two bolt trials style mounts work just fine without a booster. If
    you have a choice go for a frame that has the two bolt style mount
    instead of a frame that has the post style mount.

  4. Yea... don't put maggies on a frame that has vees. The evo mounts suck
    [censored], even with a booster. It might not make that much of a differece on
    a uni though, but it definetly does on a bike.
