Can you attach Bullhorn handle bars to this bike? If so, do you need a new brake?

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.

I would suggest going to Ram Mounts and see what's available for your handlebars or attachment points.I bought a mount that attached via the 2 screws that holds my front brake lever in place .The drink holder will stay level when using it .it can be used to hold cups too

Forgot to mention....I adjusted my seat and handlebars, and had Ace Hardware attach some brakes on the upper part of the handlebars as well as to make it easier to use the brakes when sitting upright. It is also a good idea to have Ace or someone else qualified to tune it after assembly.

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.

Yes, you need to assemble it. You need to put on the handle bars, seat and tires. The hand brake can be a little tricky to get adjusted, but the overall assembly wasn't that difficult.

Yes but not from scratch. You will need to install the wheels (no tools needed), straighten the handlebars (with allen wrench), and mount the seat (no tools). Very easy stuff. If you need to mount the pedals, use a thin wrench and turn COUNTER CLOCKWISE to tighten!

No place to attach to the bike. You might be able to purchase a bracket or Velcro it to the handle bars.

I have replaced the handlebars on this. It was easy and I used this handlebar off of Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006R1IU5S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi Miriam! Is does have a hand brake on the handle bar? If if you will be using on trails I would highly recommend that you buy one with a swivel front wheel. Let me know if I can answer any more questions.

No idea. Finally gave up on it, tossed it, and ordered a different bike. Once the B R F Bike broke--there was no fixing it. The handlebar contraptions kept coming off no matter how we tried to toghten them. Sorry to disappoint.

Great question! You need to install the front wheel, seat post and saddle, pedals, handlebar, and if you get them, the brake cables. The company recommends that you bring the bike to a bike shop after assembly to ensure that everything is as it should be.

The bracket that is attached to the handle bars is two pieces that can be tightend/loosend/adjusted with screws. I've used mine on different bikes with no problems. I suppose you could use longer screws to attach it if you have a problem. It's a very nice product.

Everything you need except the rotor. Some bikes may need adapters for the handle bars and front fork and rear end. My bike was a 6 year old trek and needed no additional adapters. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. The front handle-bars only attach to a mounting clap and have no other structural function. I left them off as I would probably hit them with my knee as I had to turn the console up as far as I could to prevent contact with my knee. Frankly I wished the console were smaller. The bottle holder and 'reading tray' are not needed. I do wonder if the smaller console of the model before this one would work on this bike. Might call the company and ask them.

if the brackets are for the OEM, then more than likely NOT. the TMS comes with their own brackets to attach to the handle bars. Keep in mind that the brackets are for a 1" bar and not the 1.5" - 1.75" that most handle bars come in. lemme know if you need a picture of what i have on my 10" apes.

They come with or without handle bar. You need to request which one you want.

As long as the handlebars are the standard 7/8" diameter, yes. Beware that the glue that comes with them doesn't work. Get real grip glue for the left grip and you will need filler epoxy, like JB Weld, for the throttle side because the inside plastic does not tightly grip the throttle tube like a rubber grip does.
