The product description indicates that the bike comes with dual brake levers. Could you please elaborate on what this is and how it works.

There are two brake levers for each brake. Two small ones on the top of the steering bar, so big ones behind the curve of the handles (you are going to use them while leaning on it).I used the small ones once, because the right big lever broke.

Dual brake levers means it comes with the standard brake STIs on the front of the drops as well as brake levers on the front of the handle bars near the stem. This can be useful if you are doing city riding with lots of stopping.

This bike does not come equipped with 2 sets of brake levers. There is 1 front brake lever, and 1 rear brake lever.

It's the pair: from the picture, the one with the long bolt is the front and the other is the rear. Check your front fork. The fork on my Specialized Roubaix actually was threaded to accept the bolt (although I took two days to figure that out) so all I had to do was spin it into place. Most of the YouTube videos show mounting the brake using one of the allen-headed barrel nuts that come with the kit. I DID use a barrel nut on the rear.

This bike has both front and rear hand brakes. They work really well too. I would have preferred the other type as I had never used hand brakes before. I am more familiar with them now and it is all ok.

It comes wih one trigger and mount. If you plan on moving it from bike to bike on a regular basis, you may want to buy a spare mount. No need for the extra trigger as it can move easily.

The bike does have Shimamo components installed on it. Read the description.

No cable or levers are included. It will work with any standard cable and lever, but you will need to do more research on the cables you choose to decide whether a standard length will suffice, or if you're going to need to shorten your cable to make it fit well. Lucky for me I didn't need a new cable, just having this brake set improved my performance.

It doesn't.In fact I brought it to a local bike store and had the brakes changed for $40.Poorly designed brakes.

The bike has front and back rim brakes, controlled by levers on the handlebars. No coaster brakes.

I looked at a couple of pictures of this Schwinn model. It doesn't look like it has the rear mounting posts that newer bikes have. Supposedly that isn't a problem because you can use P clamps to create mounting posts on the two tines or frame extensions that normally have these posts. However, I'm not even sure that the Schwinn sports world has two tines. (This wording is pretty awkward.) You may want to take your bike to a bike shop and ask an expert. You may only be able to use the time of rack that wraps around the seat post. I have one of those, and it works quite well.

Based on feedback from other reviews I replaced the brakes before I used the bike! I am very very happy with the bike overall - by upgrading the brakes, the chain tensioner, and new rim tape. This is a screaming bike,make sure you have a bike shop give it a tune-up before riding.

Yeah, we had to go by trial and error and never got the front brakes working. We are returning this bike and getting one from a store that is already pre built. The manual that came with the bike doesn't even tell you how to put it together (lame). It just explains what all different types of brake systems are and I guess is relying on the consumer to be well versed in bike engineering.

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.

They have the back-pedal brake, or foot brake...I think it is the same as the coaster brake. There are no hand brakes, just the type that slow or stop the bike when they pedal backwards.

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.'

Also some aftermarket brake clutch lever kits have holes for these mirrors to screw into, but they are usually used with the handlebar mounts (sold separately, like $6-$10)

First of all thanks for the reply. And indeed I figured I had to make that change in the Bike. Thank you very much again !!!!!

There are hand brakes on each handlebar that work on the rear wheels. Very effective, They also can be locked to act as parking brakes. WALT
