First of all it's not a "stab primo", it's a stinky primo and it is not average. It has Dangerboy upgraded linkage plates. And the complete bike is nothing like the stock stinky primo.

the thread said to post his ride, so he did. so what if its a kona stinky? the only reason kona stinkys are so common is because they are kick ass freeride bikes. especially that one. you didnt even post a picture so quit givin him flak about his.

I got the idea from a friend in nz who was running one on his old Hoffman Condor (what a sweet bike that was!) To mount the Magura you need to flip the mount around, file it out a little bit to fit the brake posts, and in my case file the cranks a bit (on the nonstructural end of the pedal bosses) and space them out. I also put the booster on the "wrong" end and ditched the quick release mechanism for a regular bolt. With a light trials-style grind it locks up unbelievably well, and I still have enough modulation for manuals. Much prefered to disk brakes for street riding.

I highly reccomend this to all the mtb'ers who can't stand the nonfunctional state of U-brakes and don't want to weld V-brake mounts onto their frame. Of course the performance is much better than with a V-brake, too. Just make sure than you get a bar with the narrowest crossbrace possible because the lever's a little long.

Hah! Good to hear it. Ghetto-rigimafying is fun :)

The trickiest part is getting the calipers to fit in between the cranks, as they're pretty wide. The easiest way to do it is just space out the cranks at the BB, but if you are too lazy to go out and find spacers (such as myself) you'll dial the pads all the way into the caliper half thingies and carefully bolt them into the adapter as close to the rim as possible, thus sticking out the least. As you can see mine are all scraped up from testing. Definitely easier to just use some spacers. I actually put spacers between my drive side crank arm and chainwheel at the BB and chainrings bolt points so as to space out the crank but not mess up the chainline. Works like a charm! :D
