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.

Yes. This should work for you. If you go to tekero (website) fl740 and fl540 are almost the identical brake lever as the XLC alloy. On the front of the package, "will work with V-brake, U-brake, Cantilever and roadrace.

These will most likely not work. Sram is 1:1 Ratio and Shimano is 2:1. I had to replace my rear Shimano derailleur but was able to use the front Shimano derailleur.

Looking at pictures of the Surely Long Haul Trucker brake assembly it looks as though you should have no problem installing these pads on your bike. Looks as though they have the same mounting bolts on them. Best answer I can give you with out seeing the accuactual bike .

Colin, I've used the Tekro Cross levers for both bikes with caliper brakes and v-brakes and they work great for both. Very short, firm pull with the calipers, and the adjust barrel makes fine tuning pad clearance 'so easy a caveman could do it.'

You will need new levers that are compatible with "V-Brakes". At one time Shimano, and maybe other companies, made a brake lever that could be adjusted for each style of brake. You probably do not have this lever, but just look at the top of your lever body to see if yours is adjustable.

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.

G'day Dan. I have no idea what type of bike that is, but if I was you I would just go to the SRAM/RockShox website for advice on the bikes and types of riding that this fork would suit. Regards, Paul. PS: I haven't even got the darn forks fitted to my own bike yet, so don't have a clue about performance - apart from what I've read.

Yes. It will work fine. The front deraillure is no problem. You can run whatever front deraillure you want. For example, on my sons bike we have x4 shifters with a shimano slx front deraillure and a SRAM x5 rear deraillure. Their X... lineup components are all interchangeable. You just need to make sure you run SRAM shifters with SRAM rear deraillures. The front deraillure can be whatever you want. Even their road and mountain bike stuff works together. My bike is s mix of SRAM mountain bike (x9) and road bike (rival) components and I have no issues.

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.

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.

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to use the upper brakes. I think any front bag would be in the way. If you really use the upper brakes a lot, I'd suggest going to a bike store with your bike and comparing the bags there.

I didn't take measurement of the inner diameter so I can't really tell you any numbers but all I can tell you is that I installed Cane Creek 200 TT Time Trial Levers without a problem. Cane Creek says the brakes fits inner diameter of 19-21mm.

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.

These brakes should work with any lever but they are designed for bikes with 700c wheels. They usually don't have the reach for 27 inch wheels

probably not.I used this handlebar on a Trek 7.4 FX. It had Shimano Acera brake levers and shifters.You could probably use most shifters and brake levers that are found on bikes with straight handlebars.I don't think typical road bike brake levers would work with this handlebar.
