Would this work with cantilever brakes?

I would think that this rack should work with center pull brakes. If you mount the seat brackets out that should allow you the room you need for center pulls. Mounted on the inside may not clear the center pull cable when in the rest/non-use mode. I myself wouldn't be scared to try it. I'm very impressed with this rack we have three (3) of them mounted on our bikes (triplet, single suspension Mt. Bike and a 24" single suspension Mt. Bike). I hope this helps. Tandem4two

it depends on the mounting point you use. I returned mine due to damage it caused to the frame. Very poor design.

Yes it will. If you look at the top mounting brackets, you have 2 choices: 1. mount to your bike frame using the brackets that are already on your bike (if it has them) or 2. use the brackets that wrap around your frame and position them where you them. My bike didn't have them and my frame was too big so I modified the brackets so I could mount it to my seat post.

Yes, my bike has cantilever brakes and this rack does not interfere with them.

As far as the fitment of the cables to the lever and the action of then pulling the cable, yes it will work. However, the length of the lever movement untill the pads engage the friction surface will be very different. These top levers will need less pull than the origional levers to engage the brake. So this means that both will feel different.

Because the stand holds the bike up by attaching to the frame, not the hub, it should work fine with disc brakes. I have used the stand quite a bit and it is very helpful when doing minor repairs.

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 checked how the mongose xr200 brakes are mounted, I would think these ones should work.

The tool isn't vehicle specific so it will work if you can get the tool's probes in the brake fluid. A high percentage of the probes need to be in the fluid to be accurate.

I don't see why it should. So long as these are the correct fit for your brakes, these should work. ABS affects how the calipers respond to your brake pedal (e.g. by noticing that at least one wheel has stopped moving suddenly), while these are simply a drop-in replacement for the pads and disks you already have. Just double check the fitment before ordering.

It depends. Did your bike already have disc brakes? If so, then yes, provided you use the proper adapters. If your bike did not originally come with disc brakes and used traditional cantilever or caliper brakes and did not come with mounting points for a disc brake, then no, it will not work for a Giant Rainier.

Probably, the only question would be is do you have disc brakes on the rear. If you do them no it would not. Other then that as long as your bike has the mounting holes, this rack should work. I forget which bike we put this rack on but, I do remember having to drill a hole and tap it to accommodate one of our bike/rack combinations.

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.

This should work with any bike with a disk brakes. Things to check: Thickness of the disc to make sure that the lock slides in.

Maybe, maybe not. The description gives specs to use to check for fitting on any bike. You will need a metric ruler to measure your particular brake layout to determine if thy fot or not. These are ok brakes and I am only using he front one on my motorized bike. Check with a local bike shop should you need help with these measurements. Good luck!

Theoretically yes, but you might have cable tension and pad wear issues. I'd go ahead and get brakes more suited to a smaller rim size

Most front suspension forks have canti brake mounts (the eyelets on both sides of the fork). If so, it should work, but I must stress that your going to have to do a bit of adjusting/tinkering to fit it the way you want.

No, it does NOT fit disc brakes well. There is a risk that the disc hits or get squeezed .

Yes. This is not meant to be used on a bike with disc brakes. They make special racks for bikes equipped with disc so you really should look for one of them. Just search "bike rack disc " and you should find them.

I wouldn't think it will work considering the braket is very precise when it comes to measurements, but I think I have an extra one I have to double check if I do il send you it for free so you don't have to take the chance and waist your money. Email me your addresses and il SHip it out Monday when I have a chance if I find it. Jundy314@yahoo.com
