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.

Yes. This should work for you. If you go to tekero (website) fl740 and fl540 are almost the identical brake lever as the XLC alloy. On the front of the package, "will work with V-brake, U-brake, Cantilever and roadrace.

brake pads are pretty generic fit anymore, there is only a couple styles. I used these on 2 Treks 700x35 wheels on one, 26x2.0 on the other. They work on both bikes and probably will fit yours also.

I don't know. I have 2 bikes and 2 horns. Both work just fine. Go over the instruction again. They have live support, so call them. I did and they helped me get thru the install. Good luck.

I suppose you could use bar end shifters on these handlebars. I use thumb shifters from a trail bike. There is enough room on handlebar ends for the shifters and the brakes.Cliff Joens

I'm running Shimano XTR V brakes. They function perfectly with these forks. You may need to adjust your diacomp V brakes to make them seat properly.

probably not.I used this handlebar on a Trek 7.4 FX. It had Shimano Acera brake levers and shifters.You could probably use most shifters and brake levers that are found on bikes with straight handlebars.I don't think typical road bike brake levers would work with this handlebar.

Yes, I have the stem mount, handlebar mount and out in front mount and it works on all of those.

They should fit on any disc brake ready bike. Mine went on a 1999 Mountain Cycle San Andreas. Also my brakes came reversed from normal. Meaning the right lever was set for the front brake and the left lever was set for the rear brake. Judging by previous response there is a 50-50 chance you get the normal US config. Your local bike shop can do the switch if needed in just a few minutes. I hope this helps.

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!

Colin, I've used the Tekro Cross levers for both bikes with caliper brakes and v-brakes and they work great for both. Very short, firm pull with the calipers, and the adjust barrel makes fine tuning pad clearance 'so easy a caveman could do it.'

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

I could not find photos of what I think may be two set of brake levers mounted with these drop ends, on a flat bar. Please give me the site photo, and I will try to help. Keith

Yes...except throttle by wire bikes. If it has regular throttle cables they work. ..great grips

Bryan, that's a hard question to answer. The brake shoes are 30 mm from the center of the post to the rear and require at least 30mm of clearance so that they don't run into the front fork. For the rear brake, the shoe measures 25 mm from the center post to the front of the shoe (the part facing forward), so you would need at least 25 mm of clearance. However, the amt of clearance for the front brake depends upon the inner width of the front fork, and how many washers you could stand to install to mount the brake arms. Sorry, can't answer this exactly, since I don't know the dimensions of your bike. I can tell you that these are very good brake shoes, at least as good as the best Campagnolo shoes and maybe better. The only sure fire way of checking for fit is to buy a couple and try them out. I would like to mount them on some vintage Campy Super Record, single pivot brake arms on my time trial bike that has a Reynolds Ouzo Pro carbon fork, but they won't fit, and there is nothing I can do.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that V-brakes have a different amount of pull in the lever. I'm pretty sure these are strictly for cantilever brakes.
