  1. You could always buy a v-brake. 'avid arch rival'
    (http://tinyurl.com/5om6q) thats a very stong v-brake. unless you are
    doing really serious DHing, a v will be fine, with some good pads.

    that looks the same but is mechanically operated.

  4. its possible to use a vee-brake. i did it to my semcycle xlw. took the
    brake tabs off my bike i killed after some measuring then placed the
    tabs onm the uni frame after gringing the finish a lil so i could weld
    them on. measured them so they were close to correct and tacked on the
    tabs. added the brake to check for wheel-pad clearance and height and to
    see if it cleared a gazz 2.6. once it did(minor tweaking) i fully
    welded them on and hacked a lever to make a hook at the end of the
    original lever for something to grab. next use a kids bike seat clamp
    that fits your seat post and weld a tube or even bike handlebar(i used
    this cut to the appropriate length) and weld to the seat post clamp.
    now you have a brake and a mounting location for your lever too that is
    removable. oh yeah since i ride bikes, these were all scrap parts i
    had and costed me nothing. no $$ except for time😄
