Schwinn does not make a bicycle called the "Myfarer" that I can find online, but I'm assuming you're referring to the Wayfarer. These brakes will mount on any bicycle that uses V-Brakes (two brake arms being pulled by one linear cable, as shown in this picture). Yes, these brakes should work for your bicycle.

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.

Nicholas, I'd love to help you but just don't know - I'm not a bike expert. I did some research on my frame and parts and made sure they all jived then bought them. They are very good brakes and for the price, hope they do fit your bike because I know you'll love 'em!

You will need new levers that are compatible with "V-Brakes". At one time Shimano, and maybe other companies, made a brake lever that could be adjusted for each style of brake. You probably do not have this lever, but just look at the top of your lever body to see if yours is adjustable.

Yes you can but they recommend switching the tires over to road bike tires...I have my mtb on it but we put the road tires on and it works fine.

Yes... IF... your bike is a vintage early 60's through early 80's 26" Hollywood, AND... still has the original Schwinn S-7 rims. These rims take the special Schwinn 26 X 1 3/4 tire, not the standard 26 X 1.75 tire. Fraction = Schwinn, decimal = standard. The original Schwinn rims typically have a knurled strip down the middle where the spokes go through, and some will be stamped Schwinn Approved and S-7. For inner tubes, no special Schwinn size required, 26 X 1.75 - 1.95 work fine. The new Chinese made Schwinn Hollywoods available these days at Wall-mart and so forth take large balloon style tires, completely different. Hope this helps. .

NO. Not without a custom part that you would have make yourself. I went down this road myself and there was no way to make it work short of fabricating a metal bracket. most bikes will have a place to mount normal break calipers. I dismantled my disc break and added a regular caliper break and it works just fine. (That's about the best you can do) I hope this helps! Great wheel, I highly recommend this electric wheel.

(Im not a 'bike person' so bear with my lingo) I wouldn't see why not as it attaches to the bars with hooks that seem basic enough to fit on most any shape (mine is on a retro style, chopper handle bars and works fine). I wasn't sure about your disc brake question though... the support rod fits on the bolt in the center of the front wheel... not sure how much room the disc brakes require. Perhaps not entirely helpful, but maybe some insight.

Yes. That is the exact setup I am running after upgrading my classic Schwinn. Works great.

Hello, i would think so as it's the wheel it's going on, you'll have to modify something.. I've seen disk brakes on regular bike frames Nashbar is a big supplier and would be able to answer your questions directly. The brakes are great for the price I have them on a specialized big hit comp replacing some very expensive Hayes hydraulics that are not worth the maintenance, the levers are sub par but will work.Hope this helpsTw

I'm sorry. I have mo idea. I bought mine for an exercise bike which is not a Schwinn. I do think it's great though.

In order for you to convert <easily> to disc brakes you need to have wheel, frame and fork compatibility. From the left side of your bike look at the outside edge of your wheel hub, the lower front fork and the the rear seat stay above the axle. You should see, if compatible, six small threaded holes in the wheel hub <for disc mounting>, two threaded standoffs on the fork and rear seat stay <for calipers>. The absence of either will preclude compatibility and be an indication of what is required. Your existing brake levers, if mechanical wire pull, should be compatible.

The brakes fit hubs that are part of the wheel. If you have a non disc bike, you would also need new wheels with compatible hubs.

There is no "easy" way to make a non-disc brake bicycle, that does not already have the necessary bosses to mount them, into one that is capable of running discs. Not to say it cannot be done. Anything is possible with enough fabrication skills. It'd be way easier to find a used mtb with discs and refit the brakes with these.

The tires, make, and model are somewhat irrelevant when replacing brakes. It is critical to research the type of brake system that is on the bike as originally manufactured. All Linear-pull (Shimano has trademarked theirs as V-brakes) systems are interchangable and can be found in use on most popular department store brands of bicycles. Please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake as a guide to determine the type of brake system used. There are also many helpful "how-to" videos on Youtube.com that will guide cyclists through the brake repair process.

I installed something similar on my wife's bike and it has a small lever inside of the housing that you set for your brake type. It was explained well in the instructions. I assume this is the same.

The XLC Alloy 4 Finger V- Brake Lever, Standard, Pair, Black/Silver are pretty universal so they should work on your Schwinn. I used these brake levers to convert an 80's vintage Nishiki road bike from drops to flat bars and the brake levers worked perfectly. I did have to change the brake cables to the barrel style used on mountain bikes. Road bikes use a different style brake cable then the mountain style required for these brake levers. I suspect your Schwinn beach cruiser uses the mountain style cable, but I am not sure on that. In the unlikely event your Schwinn uses the road bike style cable, then the cables will need to be changed to the mountain bike style to use these XLC Brake Levers. As a side note my Nishiki has the older style side pull brakes. I don't know what style brakes your Schwinn is equipped with, but side pull, v brake, calipers, U brakes, etc., should be OK.
