Will a set of Sram Apex brakes work on this bike? Potentially with Cane Creek 200TT Levers on bullhorns?

i don't see why not. the bike's factory default brakes use the side pull system so i see no reason why the sram apex wont work. and for the brake levers, as long as you can find bullhorns that have a large or small enough diameter to fit the levers themselves. luckily, the quill stem on this bike is quite generous in terms of handlebar diameter. but to be sure, check the diameter online. for reference though, the quill fit my 25.4mm diameter bullhorns.

Probably not. The fork on this bike is cheaply made. I tried fitting SRAM and Shimano brakes to the fork but because of the way the fork is drilled it didn't fit properly.

They seems to be standard size axle nuts/bolts, I wouldn't see why not. They have more expensive bikes that do, so I doubt they have different parts.

I think so this works in most of mountain bike. Even bmx my was with disc brakes I converted and works perfectly, hope this help you.good luck

They should work, but I only like to use Avid BB7 brakes because they are so adjustable.

This is a interrupter lever, it works in conjunction with your existing brake levers (Sitting between the current brake lever and the brake) it gives you two brake levers for a single brake. The lever would be compatible with both MTB and Road, but I cant imagine using it on any bike with flat bars.

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

Have no idea. They are V-brakes, not canti and I believe have a standard length. It is not specified on the SRAM/Avid website.

the steerer tube on these forks I 265 mm. you will, more than likely, need to cut them to size. you can find most other info you need on sram.com. I have enjoyed these forks

The bike comes with tools to put the handle bar on and I would buy bullhorn handle bars from Retrospec and it should work fine. They would also sell a longer cable if needed.

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to use the upper brakes. I think any front bag would be in the way. If you really use the upper brakes a lot, I'd suggest going to a bike store with your bike and comparing the bags there.

This Brake is made for a 22/10 slip on barrel with no threads. Might damage the threads on your barrel.

First you would have to see if your forks have bolt holes for the caliper. Then look at your seat stays to see if there are holes there for the rear caliper. Also you would need different wheels that you could bolt the rotors to. That year trek 4500 had a model with disk brakes so there is a good chance the holes are there for the calipers and all you would need are the wheels.

I had lower brazons and tried to use the u bolts on the front fork of a Marin bike with disc brakes and big tubed fork. I got it to work but not as intended to. At best I could carry light loads, but nothing I would feel safe touring with.

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

They should fit on any disc brake ready bike. Mine went on a 1999 Mountain Cycle San Andreas. Also my brakes came reversed from normal. Meaning the right lever was set for the front brake and the left lever was set for the rear brake. Judging by previous response there is a 50-50 chance you get the normal US config. Your local bike shop can do the switch if needed in just a few minutes. I hope this helps.

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.'

I'd be careful here. This is a V brake, attached by 2 pivots. Your kid's bike sounds like a single center pivot caliper set. If that is true then look for that type. See Racing Bike Bicycle Rubber Pads Metal Front Caliper Brake Black As an example. If you have a 2 bolt pivot, then the Acera Mountain should work. Good luck.
