Will this work with my cantilever brake levers? Or do I need to buy new levers?

Theoretically, your cantilever brakes have half the mechanical leverage as these linear pull brakes. So the canti levers have double the mechanical leverage than brake levers for linear pulls. So if you use canti levers with linear pull brakes, the brakes will be very strong and you will have to be careful pulling on the levers so you don't flip.

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.

Hi Missy, Yes they will work but I would suggest the avid shorty levers also with your purchase. You will be amazed how well they work for very little money and they are easy to install.

type that question into google? maybe here? http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/brake-levers-hoods-dept682/?geoc=us

look at item and see frequently bought cable item. if your bike cable ends match then this item will work. otherwise you will need to replace brake cable also . these are standard end tip connector.

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

You should be able to use these... They work on most types of v-brakes and have good stopping power when adjusted correctly

It should work fine, and there is an adapter cable that makes it even simpler. See the following install video http://www.etrailer.com/Brake-Controller/Tekonsha/90885.html

My bike has center-pull cantilever brakes, so, yes, the cable does work with such brakes, and there is an adjustment nut with a lock ring at the lever terminus of the brake cable to allow for minute adjustments.

It will work fine. please read up on the difference between power on demand (pod) and momentum style brake controler before you decide.

Yes these should work. I have ran these pads on 26" and 700c rims. I have used them on cantilever, V and road brakes.

I believe this question refers to a Shimano shifter lever, not a brake lever. Anyway, I think they would fit on most bars and I did not worry about that when I ordered and installed my shifters. I belive most bars have similar diameters.

What is the bar ID? Is it compatible with the size of the levers? Like someone else had previously responded, you tighten the levers by removing the rubber cap and using an allen key. If you have tightened this all the way already, then your bars are simply too big for these. If you tighten them and the fit is close but still slightly loose, you could probably rig something since the mechanism is simply an expander shiv; maybe you could wrap something around that to give you a little extra leverage.

Yes it will work. Mine also had the lever underneath. I measured mine from bottom to the top and cut around the level to fit. It was very easy work with.

Paul, I bought 2 sets and used these EF-51 on 2- 1994 Schwinn mountian bikes with cantilever brakes and they work great.

It should work all you do is pick what side you want it on clutch or brake and remove the screws and replace with the screws that come in pkg.

I have no idea. But I can tell you one of the important things to note is whether you trip lever has a bend in it. This one is perfectly straight and will not work on those.

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!

Yes, I put these on my bike which has cantilever brakes. they will work on any brake that is activated by pulling on a cable.
