Will a set of Sram Apex brakes work on this bike? Potentially with Cane Creek 200TT Levers on bullhorns?

i don't see why not. the bike's factory default brakes use the side pull system so i see no reason why the sram apex wont work. and for the brake levers, as long as you can find bullhorns that have a large or small enough diameter to fit the levers themselves. luckily, the quill stem on this bike is quite generous in terms of handlebar diameter. but to be sure, check the diameter online. for reference though, the quill fit my 25.4mm diameter bullhorns.

Probably not. The fork on this bike is cheaply made. I tried fitting SRAM and Shimano brakes to the fork but because of the way the fork is drilled it didn't fit properly.

Works on my Shimano 9spd chain that I'm currently running on a Campy 8spd group. I'd say it'll work with SRAM.

I agree with SPC. While I don't have disc brakes on any of my bikes, I don't see why it wouldn't work. There are two "pincers" to the rear frame and there seems to be some limited top/bottom - forward/rear adjustment to the frame anchor points.

I have two sets of these and all mine have a small clock spring on the pivot that returns the lever. I converted a road bike to flat bar and the brake cables on the bike worked just fine. These levers use the barrel shaped cable ends.

Not sure, I had to mount my boards on the highest setting for my feet to fit under the brake lever. After a test ride I had to adjust them down a little for comfort, but I never had a problem with them hitting up against anything. Sorry but good luck to you!

I didn't take measurement of the inner diameter so I can't really tell you any numbers but all I can tell you is that I installed Cane Creek 200 TT Time Trial Levers without a problem. Cane Creek says the brakes fits inner diameter of 19-21mm.

the steerer tube on these forks I 265 mm. you will, more than likely, need to cut them to size. you can find most other info you need on sram.com. I have enjoyed these forks

Yes most v brake levers will work with most major mechanical disc brakes, sorry for the delay on my response. Thank goodness Christmas is over.

It depends on the manufacturer/model of bike you're planning to install them on. I have an '01 HD Dyna FXDX and needed different upper shock mounting hardware - the OEM bolts weren't long enough.

I don't know. I have a different bike. Check the brake specifications for your bike or measure their dimensions. Compare that info to the specs. for these brakes and make your decision based pn that info.

They would work, but most mountain bikes use disk brakes. These are more appropriate for ordinary street use.

These will most likely not work. Sram is 1:1 Ratio and Shimano is 2:1. I had to replace my rear Shimano derailleur but was able to use the front Shimano derailleur.

They seems to be standard size axle nuts/bolts, I wouldn't see why not. They have more expensive bikes that do, so I doubt they have different parts.

most of todays mtb frames are standard with brake mounts. So yes if your Giant has them. Forks also. Sometimes you may need adapters but they come with the brakes. Most likely an adapter on the rear as long as your frame has brake mounts. but not on the fork.

No. I believe you need to buy Shimano. Or ones compatible with shimano. These are only SRAM

As far as the fitment of the cables to the lever and the action of then pulling the cable, yes it will work. However, the length of the lever movement untill the pads engage the friction surface will be very different. These top levers will need less pull than the origional levers to engage the brake. So this means that both will feel different.

First you would have to see if your forks have bolt holes for the caliper. Then look at your seat stays to see if there are holes there for the rear caliper. Also you would need different wheels that you could bolt the rotors to. That year trek 4500 had a model with disk brakes so there is a good chance the holes are there for the calipers and all you would need are the wheels.
