Do these work with v-brakes?. It says cantilever but is still listed as short pull.

I used a pair with v-brakes. The pads need to be pretty close to the rim, but finely adjusted so I can still get the noodle out of the quick release.

FWIW - I measured the total length of pull for these levers on my bike to be about 9/16in.

No, they are not setup for Disc brakes. Sorry, I haven't got a road disc setup on any bikes, so have no experience with it, so, no suggestions. Good Luck.

It's doubtful that this brake would work on a 20 inch BMX bike. These are short reach caliper brakes intended for use on road bikes. Even if you were able to get them to fit your bike, it would take a brake lever capable of a stronger pull than what you have to make this brake work properly. Visit harriscyclery.com. They have a large selection of both V Brakes and Cantilevers. You should b able to find something that is close to the original brakes.

Yes, these are NOT linear pull brake levers, so they will work fine with any non-linear dual-pivot brakes like SRAM Apex. I recommend using them only as interrupteurs, not as primary brake levers (although I see them set up on fixies that way all the time)... the ball-end of your brake cable won't seat properly.

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.

Have no idea. They are V-brakes, not canti and I believe have a standard length. It is not specified on the SRAM/Avid website.

Mine was the older V brakes, the disc brake model had just come out mine was old stock. Sorry no idea on the forks that's too technical for me lol

Yes, they will work. But, keep in mind; these rims are v brakes and disc brakes compatible. Make sure you are getting the correct rim size for your bike. I believe are 26" rims.

These won't work for that type of axle. I have this hitch and believe they will only work with the standard quick release as found on most road bikes.

I had the same set of shifters on two bikes. 1 with v-brakes, 1 with cantilever brakes. No problems with either.

I wish I knew the answer for you sir...all I can say is they sure worked perfect for my mongoose mountain bike. I just had to get a longer brake cable for my front brake. Much easier on my back. :)

No. These only work with cantilever brakes and possibly v-brakes, but definitely not disk brakes.

You should be able to use these... They work on most types of v-brakes and have good stopping power when adjusted correctly

I think they would. The cable "pull" on my v-brakes is 16mm, on my road bike calipers is about 11mm, so you could back off your caliper brake pads a bit and probably have a good lever feel. Just my opinion though.

My fork ( rock shox Reba rl )does not have accommodations for v brakes. Many of the newer models do not

I believe this question refers to a Shimano shifter lever, not a brake lever. Anyway, I think they would fit on most bars and I did not worry about that when I ordered and installed my shifters. I belive most bars have similar diameters.

Depending the size level blocks. These will provide about 1.5" lift. You don't want to go over 2.75" of lift or your alignment and cv axles won't operate properly. So just add 1.5" to your lift block and if it's over 2.75" then I would say no
