I have ordered a Nimbus 36. Can I mount V-brakes on it?

I fitted V brakes to a Nimbus 36, and it didn't work very well. It was
a real problem to get them set up, and the performance of them wasn't
very good.

There are a number of people that prefer Caliper brakes to Hydraulic
brakes. It would require a frame mod, but that should be as simple as
drilling a hole.

'This guy' (http://tinyurl.com/2odh4r) has a caliper brake on his N36
(check out the photo gallery linked in the first post).

Haven't checked recently but a couple weeks ago they were apparently
sold out. Can you help me out with a link if you could find them?

Unicycle.UK.com have them, I don't know how much it would cost to get
them to you.

It could be worth posting a new thread to see if anyone knows who would
have them in stock near you. They may bypass this thread, see how you
get on.

Ok, I'm fresh out of idea's for my Nimbus 36.

UDC is out of stock for V-Brake adapters, and can't find similar
product available in canada for V-brakes.

Brought my N36 to LBS to try to get old style c-clamp brakes to mount
on frame, no luck.

IS MY ONLY OPTION MAGURA HS33 ?

I would like to purchase some brake right away!!!!

You could use a BMX caliper brake if there's room under all the extra
tubing of the Nimbus frame. You could mount it in front of the seat
tube, but it wouldn't look so tidy (I think I've seen a picture of one
fitted that way). It may go behind the seat tube like people did on
normal frames if there's enough clearance below the top bracing tubes.

BMX brakes are very easy and cheap to buy (I got mine on ebay for less
that £5 for a pair) - just make sure you get a front one or the bolt
will be too short to go right through the seat tube.

Try online trails bike shops I go mine from
www.trialsin.com

They look better then the ones that UDC sells but are a little more $
at $36.00 US.

Todd. Why don't you talk to Darren Bedford re: this issue? He might
have a possible solution for you.
