Effective braking on a unicycle is a learned technique that goes far beyond simple use as a drag brake. With practice, effectively using a rim brake increases traction, increases control on drops to slopes, reduces fatigue on bumpy descents, and even increases speed by smoothing out your pedaling. Secure grip on your brake lever is essential for all of this.

Originally conceived by Wallis Design, this paddle clamps to old or new style Magura HS33 brake levers (the photo shows on an old style lever). It provides braking control without getting in the way of your legs and non-braking fingers.
