When installing front brake the right brake pad (looking at bike) will not spring back after the brake is applied. Anyone have same issue?

Yes. I had the same problem. I worked on the front brake for about 2 hours. Until I got it to work right.

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 .

Hi, I just bought my bike this spring (2013) so I was afraid that my brakes were too new however I ordered the mirror because it didn't look like the STI type. Anyhow when the box came in it listed all the Shimano brakes for which it would fit and mine was in that list. You can find your model and number on the side of the brake handle when you peel back the rubberized housing.

I encountered the same problem. If it were not for the odor and the noise of the brake pads when ridden hard, I would really like this bike. I was hoping that I could find a set of replacement brakes/pads -- perhaps by a different manufucturer. Please post if you find a solution.

Not sure, but it sounds like cable needs to be shortened slightly. This is usually done by adjusting the fittings where the cable attaches to the brake handle.

Need to check tension,see Instructions. Chain needs to be on sprocket all the way also.Another thing to check, make sure the chain teeth are going the right way.it could be on backwards

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.

You may need to slightly enlarge the round hole where the brake cable exits. I did and it helped. And yes, like the other person said, put some silicone on the inside to help them slip on otherwise it will be very difficult.

Not sure what the issue is. I know we had to follow the path exactly that ours came out of. There were two specific points that had to be connected right for it to work. One was on the spring end and the little s shaped metal piece had to slide in correctly and the other was a clip on the back. Perhaps it is too long? I am not sure what else the issue could be. You might google/you tube to try to make sure it is connected right. Best of Luck

They should, you have to watch the right side handle tho, i had to grind off a 1/4 inch of the little tab that pushes in the front brake button. It made the brakes stay applied until i done that.

the standard brakes? i install one and no problems. I think the device can have a lock to choose what side will be turn i mean the device can turn both sides on anytime , left -right and thats a security issue for me. if i want my dog stay only at right or only at left cant do that with the actual design. I would recommend these device anyway, and my bike is a trek with the standard brakes. Not disk brakes.

One of my bikes has the brake cable running under the top tube and I have not had a problem. I also have a soft pad in the middle of the v shaped holders on the bike rack.

Sorry to hear about your problem. My suggestion is to contact Schwinn manufacturer. Probably an easy fix.

I have not run into that problem, but have not used it very much on hills. It has been a while since I used mine, but if I remember correctly, there is a pin on the brake handle that you either push in or pull out to keep the brake in place. I will look into this over the weekend and get back to you if you are still having an issue.

On my FLHX they are for the dual front disks, but the rear disk uses the same pad, didnt need the rear yet, but my fronts were worn. Check with Harley as many bikes share front and rear brake parts

I would take it off and put it back on and see if it sits properly. Also (I dont know your skill level) make sure the washer is on correctly, there are two very distinct sides. You will LOVE the Brake by the way.... that concussion from this thing is a beast, and almost little to no climb

No man the pads should not drag. I placed brake grease where the sides pads slide on the caliper. Also for both front and back, allow enough clearance for new pad install. Hope this helps!
