UniBar v4 - plus N36 cable brake setup

corbin · 2008-02-15T16:36:18+00:00

Howdy, Steve was asking for pictures of my latest UniBar; it is the same as my last, but has a slightly lower angle and a little longer in front. I also mounted a brake to it. As mentioned in another thread, i recently moved from the Maguras to a cable brake, and I like the cable brake a lot more. http://tinyurl.com/yp7a7j http://tinyurl.com/yp7a7j http://tinyurl.com/yp7a7j Or, if you are lazy, here's one embedded: [image: http://lh4.google.com/corbin.dunn/R7W97DsSVkI/AAAAAAAAB1A/aMSPxCQAclg/s144/IMG_7291.jpg] I really like having the 'power grips' on my handle. I can do fast cornering by keeping one hand on the lower handle part (the power grip) and the other hand on the longer handle bar (the handlebar). It works *great*! I also really like using the grips to power up really steep hills. Overall, the handlebar and brake setup has really made my riding a lot more pleasant, and made me faster. By gripping both handlebars, it prevents speed wobble, and lets me confidently spin a little quicker. corbin -- corbin http://www.corbinstreehouse.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ corbin's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7561 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/67715 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Howdy,

last, but has a slightly lower angle and a little longer in front. I
also mounted a brake to it. As mentioned in another thread, i recently
moved from the Maguras to a cable brake, and I like the cable brake a
lot more.

Gotta love it! I use a long bar section to allow different hand
positions, but with yours you have a more natural grip angle.
+1 for "Squidbar".

Hey, not half bad, the Corbin! Pretty cool! You (among others) make me
want to learn how to weld. Seriously...
That's a pretty far out handle (both literally and figuratively...) It
looks like it stretches twice as far as the tip of my T7.
