New Nimbus Oracle Disc Frame

The New Nimbus Oracle frame comes with the disc brake mounting tab welded to the frame.  The design is aimed at the serious unicycle rider offering design advantages that exceed riders current performances.  On the rear of the frame there are hose clips for keeping the hose out the way.

Fitting brakes to Unicycles

You basically have two main options, Disc Brake or a Hydraulic rim brake (Magura)

For a rim Brake you will need a frame with Magura mounts welded to the frame (Alot of Muni frames already have these) they will look like this

MaguraTabsIf the frame has these mounts then all you need to do is get a Magura brake, some Magura clamps and a brake lever mount and you have everything you need. Here at Unicycle.com UK we have a Starter brake kit which contains all you need to get riding with a brake.

For a Disc brake setup there are two paths you can take, Internal or external.

Internal

For this option you will need a Disc Hub* (such as the Nimbus Oracle Disc Hub), Nimbus D’brake (if your frame does not have a disc brake tab), Brake lever mount and a Disc brake.

*we offer a wheel building service

External

For this option you will need a pair of disc compatible cranks (such as the Kris Holm Dual hole Spirit Cranks), Nimbus D’Brake (if your frame does not have a disc brake tab, a few washers may be required), Brake lever mount and a Disc brake.

New Q-Axle Disc Hub

Qu-Ax's latest Generation Disc hub is now in stock.

This hub has a splined hub, crank interface instead of the ISIS that we have seen on unicycles for many years now.  This does of course mean that you will need a pair of the Q-Axle cranks, which are available in a range of different lengths (single hole and Dual hole)

24" Nimbus 'Oracle' Muni



Another new product from Nimbus but unlike the others this has all of the UDC shops very excited.  A completely new unicycle released this April, the 24" Nimbus 'Oracle' Muni (26" version available too).  Yes a Muni that comes with a hydraulic disc brake fitted straight out of the box.



Plus Nimbus's new Aluminium round crown frame with their 2012 bearing housings. Which has been designed purposefully for unicycles with disc brakes, making it super rigid but super lightweight.



The disc brake is fitted with Nimbus's inboard system keeping your rotor and caliper tucked nicely inside the frame. This also means you can run any pair of ISIS cranks, your are not stuck with one pair of cranks.
