Hi,
I'm looking for my next uni. I want to be able to ride fairly long
distances (1-20 miles) , mainly on (not so nice) roads with lots of
steep sections, some very steep. So far, I've been riding a 24," and I
feel that I really want a brake on my next uni (though I've never tried
one).
How are brakes for descending long, steep hills? Do they work like
I'm imagining (enjoyably cruising down the hill)?
I'm thinking of buying a used Yuni 29er w/ Big Apple. Has anyone
mounted a brake to a Yuni 29er?
The other option I'm considering is a refurbished Coker from uni.com,
but the brakes they offer for it are out of stock. Does anyone know how
they mount brakes to these Cokers? I have read long threads about the
difficulty (impossibility) of mounting brakes to stock coker frames.
I would also appreciate any other recommendations as to other 29er's
that would work well with a brake.
-Cheers
