Will this setup work with any stock V brake unit? I have Tektro RX6 brakes, and the setup looks almost exact as the picture on Amazon, though the posts on the Kool Stop seem to be offset from the center of the cartridge. And, threaded post or smooth post? I'm not sure which I need. Thanks! Will this setup work with any stock V brake unit?

Yes they are a standard design, they just have replaceable pads. I own a set and prefer the salmon pads for all conditions. I actually prefer the Supra 2 to this brake.When installed properly the long end of the brake "shoe" points to the rear of the bike and they are slightly toe out, heel in. The pad comes with a bump on the tip to facilitate this. The result is that after a short break in, or wear in, the pads will compensate for frame and brake flex (& slop) and lay fairly flat against the rim when applied.If not set up this way, the pad pressure will be too heavy at the toe and too light at the heel.

If your pads are secured to the brake with an Allen nut, you have threaded posts. All photos I have seen of the RX6 use this set up. Therefore, you will be OK. Where the post is centered is not a problem. More importantly, is the pad is installed for 100% rim contact when applied.

yes they will fit. I have had them on my Giant Escape for about six months and love them. You will need the threaded post.

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.

my only guess is because everyone uses a different adapter depending on what size rotor you're using. some brake sets don't come with adapters as they are a sold separate part. hope that help

The center post you are looking at should be a white post in the center of the housing it is what moves the mirror up and down side to side if you do not have auto mirrors you will not have this but a 2000 ex be should I got the ex 4 hope this helps took a lot of pushing to get it on I thought I was gonna break it lol

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

Pen,We have not tested the products together. There might be some interference in the wheel well area, is all I can think that might cause an issue. We make our products compatible with our products and with factory parts, unfortunately we can not test fitment will all other aftermarket parts.Thank you!

I'm running the stock receiver in my team associated SC10 with no issues. I'm also running a 87t spur gear with a 16t pinion gear. I suggest using a 2s lipo. Anything bigger and the truck gets out of control. I still am hitting over 50km. Perfect for dirt track racing. I hope that this helps. CHEERS!!!

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

My center post broke, got a replacement, it broke....http://www.ereplacementparts.com/disc-stem-p-707798.html. I threw the whole thing away. I'll get something different.

This should not require a reflash. I installed as my first mod on my 06. Also never heard of others with issues. The intake hiss is about the only thing you will probably notice.

I have this bike, and I saw no bolt holes to mount a disk brake on the hub, so you will probably need a new wheel/hub. It does have mounts for a caliper on the frame though. However, the V-brake is more than sufficient. It allows for slowing with a little bit of pressure on the lever as well as locking up the back wheel when you need to stop fast. Time will tell on how long the rubber lasts though.

hey richard! its so strange you asked this question because when i bought it, i realized it was for drum brakes and i have disk brakes.....i had been having so much problems with my scooter anyways. i was sooo sick to my stomach..anyway i talked to a friend on scootdawg.com and he told me i could just take off the drum brake parts and my disk break wheel will work just fine...yep, it worked..but, i had to saw off the silver metal piece that that stuck out that holds the drum brake..took 2 minutes and was real easy...i hope this helps...it will work if you have disk brakes..trust me.

presta. At least the same wheel I have that is disc brake ready is set up for presta. I ordered that one on accident and from what I saw, it to was presta valve ready.

The brake seems to work fine. I have not really needed to use it much - just to slow down if I get going too fast in the grocery store or something. I just haven't needed to use it. But the few times I have used it, it stopped me without any trouble. I had read that maybe dual brakes would be better, but this one has been just fine for me!!

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.

I put one of these on my Yugo pap AK and it blew off the end of the barrel with the sixth shot. Mine may have been slightly bent from the factory. I am just telling you what happened with the muzzle brake that I purchased. Good luck, and for God's sake be careful if you purchase this muzzle brake.

I didn't use a torque wrench to install it. I just used the crush washer and made sure the alignment for the top holes was correct. I have this brake installed on 2 ARs and both of them had different amounts of force to align them. I have shot several hundred rounds through each of them and neither brake shows any signs of movement.These are LOUD though so make sure anyone with you doesn't stand to the side. Directly behind doesn't seem to be too bad but you can really feel and hear the concussion if you are a couple of feet to either side.Of course, hearing protection is critical with this brake installed.On my rifles the muzzle barely moves and I can stay on target easily for follow up shots.Enjoy,Rick I didn't use a torque wrench to install it.
