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'm not sure in the specifics of that bike. But it seemed to be pretty basic. You can use disc or v brakes and it's a Presta tube.

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

You can not. It replaces them with the bracket for the bull bar. That's the only negative thing about it. Wouldn't want to try and pull on the bull bar either because the metal isn't all that thick. I've had mine for almost two years now though, and it has done everything I've wanted it to.

Yes Margaret. You will need to put on the fenders, seat and handlebars (and adjust accordingly), front wheel and pedals. After that, adjust the breaks. It's important to have all the tools needed and make sure you have all the parts. I was missing a few and had to go purchase them before I could finish the assembly. Another option is to take it to a bike shop and have them do it for you - including an initial tune up.

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.

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.

I had raised this question a while ago. I ended up purchasing the same bike. It came with 32mm tires. I was successfully able to change the handle bars to a flat one (~ $40). I have had it for a year now and use it almost every day biking from home to school and back (~ 7 - 8 miles). The bike is sturdy and has handled well so far.

The connection to the trail bike is a built in bracket on the neck of the bike. You would not be able to add just any bike to the bike bar. Hope this helps.

Not to be a jerk or anything, but I have never seen, owned, or even heard of a pair of solid handlebars. Regardless, my answer to your question is yes, you can and will be able to use bar end mirrors with this handlebar.

You can and should only mount it to the handle bar stem. The iBert seat needs to move the handle bars or else you won't have any room to maneuver the bike

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!

Nope. Not without some modifications such as longer bolts and some rubber for a better hold. You are best off looking for ACTUAL handlebar mirrors. They're about the same price and you won't have to mess with the frustrations of making these work.

There is some assembly. Handlebars need attached to the neck with 4 Allen bolts. Front tire, seat and pedals. You will also need to adjust the deraiulers as both bikes were waaay off from the factory. Brake calipers need aligned and all rotors on both bikes were warped. Unless you are getting this for less than 400, I would recommend getting another brand. Paint quality and welds along with alignment before welding all could be improved.

yes you can mount v brakes on them they are good forks i use them on single track trails good forks for the price

If you have hollow standard sized bars yes. You can also undo the mirror clamp, remove the bar end insert and clamp directly to the handlebars

I fully agree with this statement. I purchased this bike for the frame, fork, seat post, stem. I have had to upgrade the crankset, handlebars, seats, tires, tubes, peddles. They are not of quality. I now have to upgrade the bottom bracket as the bearings just shattered.
