Are there holes for your brakes in the frame? or is it a track setup.

There are holes for mounting brakes however you may need longer reach brakes for the front.

I dont have the bike but in the pictures there are rear caliper mounts so the frame will allow for it but I cant see if the rear wheel has disc mounts. At the most a new wheel or hub might be needed for the rear.

I do not know the particulars of your bike, but most bikes have the same mounting holes. This topeak is for diskbrakes. If you do not have disk brakes, you have to order the other style. There are some good videos on youtube showing the mounting

It doesn't appear so. Even if you moved the wheels I don't think you could do anything with the brakes.

My local bike shop ( River City Bike ) adjusted the brakes and it helped a lot. The rims being painted doesn't help. But the adjustment was enough to be acceptable. You just can't use too much rear brake. Hope this helps!

Yes you just have to extend legs to preferred height simply by pushing small button and sliding to next hole very easy.Tip i have.....is to tie down brake cable to front frame legs with plastic ties to ensure they done catch as extend quite far at front.

I have road the bike on dirt trails and the front and rear suspension seem to handle the bumps ok as I haven't had any issues. I know that I plan on riding downhill trails on a local mountain next year, but before I attempt this I will have the bike completely looked over and tuned up. Downhill trail riding requires disk brake and full suspension and for the riding I have done I do feel that this bike is capable of handling it especially if you have a professional bike shop give it a tune up and a solid once over to make sure that suspension and brake are set up for your riding style.

The disk mounts to the wheel hub. So you have to have hubs that will accept them. Also the calipers mount to the bike frame. So the frame has to have mounting points in the right place. They can be added by a good welder and would be a great learning project but not trivial in my opinion.

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.

I wish I could answer but I cant.i installed new brake lines on these brakes. The lines were long enough to fit my frame with plenty to spare when delivered. I'm thinking of ordering a set for my wife's bike.

I see what you mean, But on my frame I don 't seem to have holes, back or front. This frame is especially suited for single speed/fixed gear use: usually built-up without fenders. If you want a fender on this frame, I'd use matching fenders, which are fenders that are bolted on directly to the axle, as used to be customary before the "one size fit all" adjustable fenders. Hammered ones would be nice. This frame also exists with other dropouts: maybe worth looking at to compare?

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.

No 1. Your hubs have to be disc ready otherwise you'll need to either get new wheels or have your current wheels rebuilt with new hubs and spokes. 2. Your frame needs to have the disc brake mounting holes or you'll have to buy special brackets for both rear and front. 3. Depending on what you have you may have to replace your brake levers and cables.

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.

You need the necessary tools. Allen wrenches and an adjustable wrench will do. Chain might be a little tight, I would assemble it and get a tune up for an extra 50. It is worth noting that these rims arent built for brakes so you might want to assess that by losing one of the brakes or both, and ride fixie instead.

There is proper drilling for center pull brakes on the front and back, but that's it. Highly recommend

Are you sure that you have the bolt set correctly and there is nothing in the track?
