do these brakes also act as shifters?

These do not act as shifters. As a road and track racer, i honestly i dont recommend these levers. i think that the C clamp that you tighten to the handbar isnt strong enough and i had a lot of play after a short time of using them...

No, they are not brake-lever-combined-with-shifters, also known as "brifters." These are just brake levers and are good for setups that might have older style bar-end shifters or downtube shifters.

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.

Xlc 4-finger brake levers can be used with grip shifters. I use SRAM MRX twist shifters under my XLC brake levers. Brake levers are about 4 1/4 inches from the pivot point.

The design of the pads is what you have to look at. These have a stud with a nut to slip through a channel in the calipers. They are basically universal fit for that type of braking system. Make sure your old pads match the stud design shown in the picture.

The right shifter shifts the rear wheel sprocket. In my case that is 7 gears. The left shifts the crank sprocket. in my case that is 2 gears. My rear brake is connected to the right brake lever and the front brake is connected to the left break lever. The small levers shifts up and flipping the brake lever in towards the center shifts down. I put these on my 14 speed Schwinn and they work very well. I also changed my rear sprocket and change and in it amazing how much better the bike is. I love mine and hope this helps. Happy Riding.

They should work. Just make sure your current levers & cables are lubed & work freely. I believe you can get a nice new brake lever & cable set pretty cheaply here, like $ 20 ish $$. That would ensure best brake function.

I don't see why they wouldn't fit. I want to tell you that I purchased a pair of heel and toe shifters that were billet aluminum and one of them was loose with the bolt tight. I recommend getting the steel heel toe shifters that are chrome plated. If the seller does not list them as being steel you might want to ask the question.. I did not take the time to return the aluminum ones due to the fact they were inexpensive. If you purchase the ones from Harley Davidson is you know they will fit perfectly but are very much overpriced Good Luck and glad to help you.

Definitely yes. The bike on which I use this freewheel has friction shifters.

Nope. They are for caliper or cantilever brakes. There are lots of flat-bar levers that will work on V-brakes, including some that appear very similar to these.

Yes they are. They are long pull levers so they are compatible with V-brakes and mechanical disk brakes. I have tried them on a recumbent with Avid disk brakes and they worked so good, I will be buying another set of these shifters/levers for it after Christmas. They are , however, not compatible with hydraulic disk brakes as they have no fluid reservoir.The set I have on my commuter are still going strong and shifting smoothly even on some rides at below freezing temps.

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.

So long as the derailleur is properly adjusted, yes it should work. The indexing is in the shifters themselves, not in the derailleur. This assumes you are using either a Shimano or a SRAM rear cassette. You may experience issues with a Campagnolo cassette.

Yes. Those are the ones on my bike. But your derailers might have a different ratio and that could cause incosistancies when shifting.

No I believe you can't. You need to use shifters with the same gear ratio that your bike is configured with in order for them to work properly

The brake material is already attached to the outside of these brakes. These are "drum" type brakes and expand outward when the brakes are applied and push up against the inside of the brake drum in which they are contained. So the short answer is "YES." Just look closely at the picture.

No. These only work with cantilever brakes and possibly v-brakes, but definitely not disk brakes.

Yes, these shifters clamp to the handlebar. They do work very well; I prefer them to indexed shifters for casual riding and reliable, easily "tuned" shifting (to eliminate noisy misalignment common to indexed shifters that aren't tuned perfectly).
