I have a bike that has the front shifter cable coming down the rear of the seat tube and in the way of most fender installations. Will these work?

Hello, I have a 2001 Kona Stinky full suspension bike and the same fenders. The fender goes all the way down to the bottom bracket so the the area where you will be attaching it is below the front shifter mount. They give you a zip tie and you secure the fender anywhere near the bottom bracket or the bottom of the seat tube. In short, they should work!

Hey Kyle! My bottom line recommendation is that you call Planet Bike. Planet Bike is a small company with only 6 employees, but they are awesome! I am providing a link to their contact page, which gives the names of these employees with their areas of job responsibilities. It also provides a telephone number and email address. You will likely be amazed (as I have been) by the customer orientation and helpfulness of these employees. http://www.planetbike.com/page/support/us/ . Enjoy your cycling. ~Tim

There is a bolt at the bottom bracket that attaches to the very front of the fender. You might be able to zip tie it to the chain stays. If you don't secure it up front I think it will be too unstable. They are nice on my Surly commuter bike.

sure, the shifter will work the same with any size chainring, it is the derailleur that is specific to chainring size

It will work, you may need to change to a Shimano shifter and crank set to complete the package. Otherwise you will have issues when shifting up and down.

No I believe you can't. You need to use shifters with the same gear ratio that your bike is configured with in order for them to work properly

They should. They come with several different size fittings that insert into the hole between the strut arms. The quality and design of these fenders is good. They're a little pricy, but these are first front fenders I've found that actually work and stay in there.

It's possible but I don't advise it. To do that would mean readjusting the shift cable anytime you adjust the chain tension or if you remove the wheel to fix a flat. It's likely that after you've adjusted the chain tension enough you'll have run out of gear cable adjustment and you would then have to either relocate the cable stop or the position of the fixing bolt unit at the end of the shift cable. I looked at that on several of the bikes I've done and it just didn't work well.

It will work if your shifter is NOT a trigger Style... It only works on shifters with a push DOWN Release button. Cuz the trigger on this shifter is not Functional. To shift you press down the entire unit to unlock shifter Lever

As long as they are both 8 speed. So if you have a 8 speed cassette and and 8 speed derailuer than a sram 8 speed shifter will work.

I installed these fenders on a Trek 7000 with a suspension fork with no problem.

I think the cables are intended for the "pro" quicker shifting traditional bar-end cabling. That means the cable does not run under the tape to the flats. It is intended to come straight of the shifter only after a couple of wraps of tape. You can look up pictures if you need help. This means if you run it under the tape on a big bar or big bike, you may come up short. I did on my 59cm with 44cm bars. Hey, its Dura Ace so you can't complain.

It's been some time since I replaced the shifters, but I believe you will use the bike's old cable housings and just thread the new cables through them. The cables come installed in the shifter mechanism and are plenty long so you will need to trim them once they are installed and secured in the derailleurs. It's a pretty easy installation unless the cable housing is corroded or damaged. Good luck.

These shifters will only work with the corresponding SRAM Rear Derailleur. This is because the shifters are "Indexed" which basically means the shift ratios or the distance the shifters move the rear derailleur are fixed to match the ratio that matches the specific SRAM rear derailleur.

I don't think so but youtube how to convert down tube shifter to handle bar shifter.

I had the same set of shifters on two bikes. 1 with v-brakes, 1 with cantilever brakes. No problems with either.

You`ll probably need a adapter. The size of the knobs screw in is quite large compared to your average gear shifter size. I purchased a adapter kit that came with all sizes to be on the safe side

The main thing is, SRAM REAR derailleurs will only work with SRAM REAR shifters, and vice versa. You can never use SRAM with Shimano in the back. It doesn't matter in the front.
