ive used one for years. Of Course it makes it better. There are better
options but not as cheap.

You also have to cut it down for unicycle purposes.

Yeah definitely cut it down, and most importantly, make sure that no
part of the brake handle and extension protrude further than the end of
your seat-handle! I had enough clearance with my normal brake handle so
when I UPDd and the seat-handle would swing forward like a tomahawk and
hit the ground that the brake handle would be spared. Well I forgot to
adjust the brake handle when I put the extension on and guess what?
First ride out of the gate I UPDd pretty good in a rock garden and
again the seat tomahawked into the ground, but this time the
brake-handle extension protruded too far and hit the ground before the
seat handle so the force of the blow snapped the brake handle clean
off!! No big deal right? Wrong! It was expensive to locate and
purchase a replacement magura HS33 brake handle with the dial
adjustment! I eventually did and now don't use the extension; just
have gotten used to using the standard set up.

Good luck!

Hahaha true bodge job there!

I have been offered a free set of maguras! Great... but the handle is
broken and I'm not sure if its replacable, and if so how much it would
cost. Any help? (I don't have them yet, so if there are different types
I don't know what this one is)
