Will a set of Sram Apex brakes work on this bike? Potentially with Cane Creek 200TT Levers on bullhorns?

i don't see why not. the bike's factory default brakes use the side pull system so i see no reason why the sram apex wont work. and for the brake levers, as long as you can find bullhorns that have a large or small enough diameter to fit the levers themselves. luckily, the quill stem on this bike is quite generous in terms of handlebar diameter. but to be sure, check the diameter online. for reference though, the quill fit my 25.4mm diameter bullhorns.

Probably not. The fork on this bike is cheaply made. I tried fitting SRAM and Shimano brakes to the fork but because of the way the fork is drilled it didn't fit properly.

Hey...I'm pretty sure they will. I've been on the road vs. MTB much more often as of late, so I'm not 100% sure, but I've got an 8 speed SRAM if I'm remembering correctly.

I running a 180 mm front and rear on my trail bike and my riding buddy's are running 203mm. Just need to get the right "shimano" adaptor for the rotor you are planing to run.

I believe this question refers to a Shimano shifter lever, not a brake lever. Anyway, I think they would fit on most bars and I did not worry about that when I ordered and installed my shifters. I belive most bars have similar diameters.

First you would have to see if your forks have bolt holes for the caliper. Then look at your seat stays to see if there are holes there for the rear caliper. Also you would need different wheels that you could bolt the rotors to. That year trek 4500 had a model with disk brakes so there is a good chance the holes are there for the calipers and all you would need are the wheels.

Yes, I have the stem mount, handlebar mount and out in front mount and it works on all of those.

The center of the handlebars (stock) are 25.4mm. However, learning from my mistakes, the diameter of the bar tapers down from the center so I would suggest finding brake levers from 22-24mm. That or get shims at a LBS, though for brakes it's a huge meh :/

Yes most v brake levers will work with most major mechanical disc brakes, sorry for the delay on my response. Thank goodness Christmas is over.

Yes, just make sure the levers you have are for V-Brakes, not Cantilevers - depending on the year of your bike. Otherwise they will feel "mushy."

Have no idea. They are V-brakes, not canti and I believe have a standard length. It is not specified on the SRAM/Avid website.

I'm pretty sure I got the Projekt Fixie bullhorn bars and these levers. The levers didn't quite fit. It just took a few minutes with the Dremal to open up the bars a millimeter or so. If you want to spend a few more bucks you could get the Cane Creek levers and Fyxation bars. A sure fit.

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.

Likely not, they mount to the front levers mounting bracket and are shaped around the brake fluid reservoir. I wouldn't expect these two bikes to share these parts in common.

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.

I think so. You can mount them the traditional way (as in the picture) or upside down to give the bars some drop. The thing you need to check is that your brake levers and shifters (if your current shifters are mounted to your drops) will work with these bars. Lot's of people use this style bars to replace drops. Hope this helps.

Yes...except throttle by wire bikes. If it has regular throttle cables they work. ..great grips

B: I'm not wise enough to retrieve the photos regarding your inquiry. I would suggest articles by Sheldon Brown (now deceased) at Harris Cyclery. This author explains the details of brake systems and the various levers which can mount to the bars and ends you may have.
