Can you attach brakes to this? I have a shimano EF 3x9 that has brake levers attached to them and was wondering if i could attach brakes to the deore

You cannot You would have to purchase separate brake handles, or another combo unit.

I would not since Shimano does not recommend using the hub for use on a tandem bicycle. It is not strong enough even for that. A motor of any power at all would most likely quickly trash the hub.

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."

You could use rim brakes. You could just take the arm of the hub and the brakes would not work. Doug

I have this bike, and I saw no bolt holes to mount a disk brake on the hub, so you will probably need a new wheel/hub. It does have mounts for a caliper on the frame though. However, the V-brake is more than sufficient. It allows for slowing with a little bit of pressure on the lever as well as locking up the back wheel when you need to stop fast. Time will tell on how long the rubber lasts though.

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

"...brake levers added to these and the original brake levers on the flat bar." Mountain and road levers can be normally mounted on these. If you mean simultaneously, it used to be done with brake levers that have extensions that are not easy to find nowadays, but not impossible. Look for "BRAKE LEVER ROAD ACTION ALLOY W/EXTENSION" in amazon.

Sorry but no they wont. They are competly different systems. The discs mount to the hub on the wheels which need to be designed for disc brakes. Your bikes frame must also be equipt with disc brake attatchments at the end of your forks and same for the back most bikes have this at the front end. All depends on the bike.

Yes, there should not be a problem, when you buy the cable that is what you really have to look out for, make sure you buy Road bike break cable, the head is different for MTB and road. Make sure the bike is step up to brake not to lock up the wheels. Modulation not skidding is what you want in your breaks... Best of Luck, they have a neat feature on the front side, a small pin slides in and out to bring the lever a bit closer to the handlebar. Have fun and keep riding

It has nothing to do with brakes. It has to do with tires meeting a magnetic resistance plate. If I had to guess, I'd imagine you're riding a mountain bike and, while it would be odd to use a mountain bike on the trainer, it certainly should work. As long as your brakes don't interfere with the machine (which they shouldn't) and as long as your bike isn't too wide (which COULD BE possible but is still unlikely) you should be fine.

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.'

These are disk break system(work for MTB), so it is independent of drivetrain if you meant that. One thing to know is that the levers are swapped. It means right lever controls front, and left lever controls the back wheel, which is reversal of 99% of Shimano break system I know. The dealer in China responded to my posting and said can swap the levers if I send it back, but shipping to China would cost at least $30 which is meaningless, where I paid around $75~$79 for the set. I'm not even sure if this swapping is by design or defects from manufacturing.

Nut set is too big for most brakets. I tap-screwed them to the brakets. Get a set of brakets that fits your forks.

The brakes on nine were too tight. I think there is a way to adjust them underneath. I have never tried though.

Most forks, even for disc brakes, will have a mounting hole for this rack. You may need to get longer bolts to work with a fatbike fork.

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.

Not sure, I had to mount my boards on the highest setting for my feet to fit under the brake lever. After a test ride I had to adjust them down a little for comfort, but I never had a problem with them hitting up against anything. Sorry but good luck to you!
