how does this attach to the bike? would it be able to fit on a bike with hand brakes (cables run by the front of the handlebars)?

Hi! It comes with little plastic notchy zip tie things. My daughter's bike has hand brakes and it fits well.

The basket attaches to the front bar with adjustable straps. It seems like it would work.

Yes it should fit on a bike with hand breaks. It attaches using a strap with a hook, so you could feed it under the cable or loosely over it.

The basket should fit in front of the cables fine. They give you two plastic adjusting loops to attach it.

I use it on my bike (Cannondale T800) which has drop handlebars. It's a bit of a squeeze and it does bump the cables when I take it on and off, but it works for me.

There are vertical and horizontal straps on the back with buckles that allow you to attach to handlebars, forks, or a sissy bar. I have mine attached on the forks of my Harley

If you mean non-handbrakes, I don't see why not. It has nothing to do with the braking mechanism, and appears to be universal for most bikes. I used mine on a full-sized man's bike, should fit any bike. (If not, easily returnable to Amazon.)

Make a duck tape sleeve and attach it to your bike with a velcro strap. Depending on the bike the inside of the stem might be a good mount location.

Yes - it uses zip ties as the main source of attaching to the bike - but you will probably want to add a couple of strips of rubber to improve the grip. Really depends on your handlebars and how "big" they are.

It doesn't have to just go on a handlebar. It can fit on anything that is round in diameter within the size range that the clamp can expand to. Hope that helps. :)

Assuming that the cable you're referring to is your brake cable, there is no problem setting the bike down on that. It's more than strong enough to take that pressure. The bike stays in one place, so it's not like there is friction running back and fourth along the cable which would possibly fray the wire. One of my bikes has the same thing and has never had a problem.

I couldn't either. Take it with you to a bike repair shop & ask them if it's right for your bike. It wouldn't attach to mine. I returned it.

Hmm, what kind of bike and most importantly, handlebar, do you have? I have no problems at all mounting it on mine using one of the provided rubber rings. You should find images or videos about it using google.

I never had any problems with that. The clamps are rubberized a bit, and if you rack the bike properly it's a very tight fit. The only way I could imagine damage happening would be due to friction if the cables were rubbed side to side, but I don't think that happens - again, it's a firm, flat hold. I suppose if you somehow racked it with the two cables pitched toward each other with one on top of the other they could rub each other between the grips, but that would be a flaw in how the bike was racked, not the rack itself.

For my bike (the rear brake cable also runs along the bottom of the top rail) the straps actually go between the cable and the rail so it doesn't interfere. There are two straps on the bottom, they both can go under the cable. There is also a third strap that straps to the neck of your handlebars so the bag doesn't slide down the rail towards your seat.

Yes, but the cable is very long. I had to wrap it around the frame a couple of times, and that weakened the braking power. You may be better served by spending a bit more on a better brake.

Hi Glen,I'm using it on a dropbar now. I have a Raleigh Revinio 3, but now that I'm typing this I realize that one of the "features" on this bike was the fact that the cables were under the handlebar tape so maybe that's not a good benchmark. I actually bought this bag before I got that bike though, and the bike I originally had it on was a flatbar Schwinn. That did still have cables in the front, but they didn't got out forward, they actually ran sideways (so paralell with the handlebar), and I was easily able to just tuck them behind the bag when it was clipped on - with no effect on performance.Hope that helps,Tim Hi Glen,I'm using it on a dropbar now.

It should fit as long as the cables are loose/moveable. if they are strapped tight to the front of the handlebars the tie straps might need to be cut to allow the cables to move freely under the handlebars. you wouldn't want the brake cables pinched by the basket hooks or they won't work properly

The bike comes with tools to put the handle bar on and I would buy bullhorn handle bars from Retrospec and it should work fine. They would also sell a longer cable if needed.

It seems to be a standard size, but I haven't measured. The question is more around the length from the end of the grip to your front brake. Often times, the front hand brake (if you have one) is shorter due to the low hand breaks, and you may find it stretches that cable. But the handlebars worked great for me, with no noticeable difference in the dimension your asking.
