i bought them for my onza muni and befor i had to put presure on the
back crank to slow down, now i have to do the same to keep me from

I disagree, they take getting used to, but they can seriously take the
grind out of back pedalling hard down steep hills. The guys I know who
ride with brakes don't break a sweat when the rest of us are working
extremley hard to control our speed. I don't think they let you do
anything that you can't do without them, but they do save your legs.
Incidentally i go without, they don't seeem worth the cost as I'd have
to upgrade my frame aswell, but alot of serious Muni riders use them.

Brakes are a HUGE asset for steep Muni. 11's 22's or 33's are all
fine. 33's are the best cause of the quick adjust.

The guys with brakes seem to be able to ride down hill faster than the
ones without.

Yeah, I went on a very gnarly northshore ride with THE dave once, he had
brakes and I didnt, I was flying down the hill out of control And
highspeed UPDing, he was in control and safe.

The only time I've felt like I needed brakes was when cycling down an
actual mountain. It was really the day after that I felt I needed
them.

2hrs walking up the bugger, 10 minutes to come back down, 3 days for my
legs to stop being stiff.

What a ten minutes tho! And Pebbles did it on his KH20 !!! His legs
were stiff at the bottom, mine took til next morning.

Upon waking that day my mind said "Ow, stiff legs....... Aahhhh, so
that's what unicycle brakes are for..."

Before that realisation I genuinely thought folk just had them to make
the uni's look more serious. And so that you can say "here" and point
when idiots shout "where's your brakes"

So unless you're gonna do serious hardcore downhilling, a brake is not
worth the money.

yes brakes help out alot, and i dont know what ur talkin bout with the
endo thing unicyclist ben but just grab some brake and lean back and
you can go down anything.

Ther's things i could not go down without brakes simply because i dont
have enouph weight or strength pushing down on the crank to keep me
from cruising down hill, with breaks its easy to do everything.

But yea you can go down most things without breaks. If i had to do it
again i probably wouldn't get brakes.(and it was a close decision about
getting brakes again or not getting brakes again)

Max, as the 33 is an evolution of the 22, and the 22 was an evolution of
the 11 I would guess that Magura only sell the 33s,as they are the most
recent model, so those are the only ones UDC can get. Obviously the
others are still available second hand on ebay and the like.

I will have to disagree with you completley as well. i have them on my
05 muni and man they help me so much on the north shore especially when
landing on steap trannys. So yes They are very usefull the also help
you to slow down when ripping though technical areas. Also something to
watch out for is the stock hydro cables have a tendancy to crack or
snap where they are fitted on to the brake so get steel covered cables
as soon as possible

king- magura hs 33's,22's and 11's all have new models, none came after
each other. hs 11'ss are lightest strongerst, and have better
modulation. hs 22's are the intermediate 1. and hs33, are the
heavyist and worst performing, but still better than any cable using
break.

Also no more giving bad rep points just because you dissagree with
someones opinion.😠

unicyclistben my apologies, i stand corrected, i was merely
hypothesising. It may well be the way in which you express your
opinions, rather than your opinions themselves, which has apparently
gained you bad rep in this thread.

do you just make this stuf up? Kington you are rite. The 33's came
after the 22's and so on. When i broke the lever on my on my hs 11's
(trials bike) magora could not just send me another 11 lever because
they are nolonger made. you can only get the old and new style hs 33's
now. However the old 33's are geting harder to find because they
nolonger make them and dealers are just selling there old stock.
