will these work on V-brakes?

Nope. They are for caliper or cantilever brakes. There are lots of flat-bar levers that will work on V-brakes, including some that appear very similar to these.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that V-brakes have a different amount of pull in the lever. I'm pretty sure these are strictly for cantilever brakes.

I'm not sure what's up with the product description saying not compatible with linear brakes - they are. I am a bike mechanic and just installed a pair yesterday in the shop. There is a plastic insert that can be switched to convert between long and short pull (long pull for linear or V brakes and short pull for cantilever). In fact the pair I installed were packaged in the linear position in the box. Hope you ignored the bad description and answers and bought the product anyway.

Don't use these levers in conjunction with V-brakes. They are short-pull levers designed for caliper brakes. They put about 60% more force into a brake cable than do long-pull levers designed for V-brakes. Could result in a rider being thrown over the handlebars, due to wheel lockup, when making an emergency stop.

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, 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."

I wish I knew the answer for you sir...all I can say is they sure worked perfect for my mongoose mountain bike. I just had to get a longer brake cable for my front brake. Much easier on my back. :)

They should, you have to watch the right side handle tho, i had to grind off a 1/4 inch of the little tab that pushes in the front brake button. It made the brakes stay applied until i done that.

I think they would. The cable "pull" on my v-brakes is 16mm, on my road bike calipers is about 11mm, so you could back off your caliper brake pads a bit and probably have a good lever feel. Just my opinion though.

If you mean "V-brakes" no, there is no mounting available for said brakes. This fork only has mounting for a disk brake caliper. Hope that helps

I am pretty confident it should work. It is more about your rim size... They work great on my road bike. They would not work on something like a mountain bike. These pads are great by the way. I have been very happy with them.

I don't know. I just used them on a regular two-wheel pedal bike. Ask the manufacturer of the assist bike.

As long as your pedals have the screw holes in the front side of the pedal, they should work. If not, then u need to replace the pedals. That's what I had to do...but it's not a major expense and the clips work fine.

They will work with any mechanical (cable) system, since they are installed between the main brake lever and the brake. There will be no difference between actuating the main levers or the cross levers.

Both. I am using disc brakes, but the sides are not painted so v-brakes should work.

yes they will !when you squeeze the lever its a pulling action .but you will probably will want to upgrade to amore responsive system latter !how ever hydraulic brakes are different.

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!

I used a pair with v-brakes. The pads need to be pretty close to the rim, but finely adjusted so I can still get the noodle out of the quick release.

I'm running Shimano XTR V brakes. They function perfectly with these forks. You may need to adjust your diacomp V brakes to make them seat properly.

Yes they are. They are long pull levers so they are compatible with V-brakes and mechanical disk brakes. I have tried them on a recumbent with Avid disk brakes and they worked so good, I will be buying another set of these shifters/levers for it after Christmas. They are , however, not compatible with hydraulic disk brakes as they have no fluid reservoir.The set I have on my commuter are still going strong and shifting smoothly even on some rides at below freezing temps.
