Are these compatible with cantilever brakes?

Yes, I put these on my bike which has cantilever brakes. they will work on any brake that is activated by pulling on a cable.

Paul, I bought 2 sets and used these EF-51 on 2- 1994 Schwinn mountian bikes with cantilever brakes and they work great.

You should see Avid on the stock brakes. If the stock brakes are Avid these are the correct brakes from Amazon.

Art, Great question, and the answer is yes, these pads will fit Avid Single digit, 5, and 7 linear pull brakes.

I have used them with disc brakes without a problem and would imagine they would work with all types because it is simply a wire that is being pulled. Same in all cases.

As a previous person stated, these are long reach brakes. Measure from the center of the mounting point to the center of your tire rim. If the distance is within the adjustment range of the brake pads they should be fine.

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.

The brake material is already attached to the outside of these brakes. These are "drum" type brakes and expand outward when the brakes are applied and push up against the inside of the brake drum in which they are contained. So the short answer is "YES." Just look closely at the picture.

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.

I believe you can but you may have to cut the cable length.... These brakes are universal and are well manufactured...

Per SRAM these will work with both linear pull (v-brake) rim brakes and mechanical disc brakes. Non-direct pull caliper brakes take a different lever.

They should work. Just make sure your current levers & cables are lubed & work freely. I believe you can get a nice new brake lever & cable set pretty cheaply here, like $ 20 ish $$. That would ensure best brake function.

As long as the brakes are still standard equipment. They should fit all around.

Yes they are. My bike shop had to do some extra work to make it right for a bicycle. Not sure exactly why they are not set up like most bicycle brakes.

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.

Probably not. Where brakes are concerned why take a chance? The replacements work perfectly!

These brakes should work with any lever but they are designed for bikes with 700c wheels. They usually don't have the reach for 27 inch wheels
