Hi I'm looking for a 29 fork with v brake post mounts, this looks like want I want can you confirm that this for takes v brake and disc. Thanks

yes it fits both styles of brakes. it comes with plugs to fit in the disc brake mounts and caps to go over the caliper mounts. either will work and these forks are awesome.....

It does not have v-brake mounts. It is only disk brake. It might actually be hard to find a v-bake compatable 29" fork

The fork I just received (shipped & sold by Amazon) has canti mounts as well as disc mounts.

Technically this fork can be installed on a 650b bike but I would not recommend it. The fork is proportioned to work with a 29" bike and will have incorrect geometry for your bike. The fork will sit higher than a 650b fork with the same travel and will drastically change the geometry.

The hardware I received only works on straight forks. As in the Custom models not Classic. And you can't match it up with brackets that work, or I couldn't.

This version come with V-brakes and a RST fork. The brake pads are too bad, i recommend and upgrade.

Yes this fork will work. Your frame has 1 1/8 headset so you want to make sure the fork your order is the same. Considering the year of the bike, I would also recommend a new headset as well.

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

I have a Gary Fisher Advance bike and I use a V type. Looking at a picture of the Trek 29er, it is set up like my bike so I would recommend the V. You may want to contact Topeak and confirm with them. They make great stuff! I am in deep with Topeak!

There is no "easy" way to make a non-disc brake bicycle, that does not already have the necessary bosses to mount them, into one that is capable of running discs. Not to say it cannot be done. Anything is possible with enough fabrication skills. It'd be way easier to find a used mtb with discs and refit the brakes with these.

No, these are for V-brakes and mountain disc brakes they should NOT be used for dual pivot road brakes. V brakes/ mountain discs have double the mechanical advantage compared with traditional brakes, so they require special brake levers. V brake levers pull the cable twice as far, half as hard. The lower mechanical advantage of the lever compensates for the higher mechanical advantage. of the cantilever. It is not generally safe to mix and match levers/cables between V brake and other types for this reason. Conventional brake levers used with V-brakes will usually not pull enough cable to stop in wet conditions without bottoming out against the handlebars. In dry conditions, they either won't work, or will grab too suddenly. V-brake levers used with any other type of brakes will feel nice and solid when you squeeze them, but due to their lower mechanical advantage you'll need to squeeze twice as hard to stop as you should, so unless you are a lightweight rider with gorilla-like paws, this combination isn't safe either. I've worked as a bike mechanic professionally and have been wrenching bikes for 30 years.

I do not know if it will fit that frame, they have a standard bolt hole placement for the calipers, so "if" the frame has disk brake bolt holes on the frame and on the fork it "should" fit, but I am not sure if the stock frame that came with standard brakes would have the additional mounting holes for the disk calipers on the fork and frame, sorry for the inability to answer definitively, perhaps look at bikes with disk brakes the mounting config and then see if your frame / fork has similar configuration

Yes, it does come with everything you need. But for special mounts, you may have to be creative; some mountabike forks are awkward, so one may have to do that special with any computer though.Aron

Yes it a QR fork. I believe the year is 2012. Good fork for the price. I bought it for my 26" Merlin which still has v-brakes.

It's designed to mount on the handlebar. There is no additional mount for the V-brake hole.

It depends on the low rider rack. The Sunlite mounts to your v-brake/canti brake bosses and the reflector mount at the top of the fork where the fork legs come togeather.

I dont have the bike but in the pictures there are rear caliper mounts so the frame will allow for it but I cant see if the rear wheel has disc mounts. At the most a new wheel or hub might be needed for the rear.

I'm not sure in the specifics of that bike. But it seemed to be pretty basic. You can use disc or v brakes and it's a Presta tube.
