Want to mount my iPhone 6 far forward on the top tube of my road bike which has an external cable for the rear brake. Will it interfere with brakes?

I'm not sure I can answer this question directly. I'm going to assume that your brake cable is running along the top tube where you want to strap this over it? I just tried moving my HandleBand onto my handlebars and wrapped it around my shifter cables, and from what I can tell there, there would be no interference whatsoever. It is not built to be restrictive, but it is still very securely mounted.

It probably depends on whether the cable is bare or is in housing where you plan to attach it. If in housing I think it will be okay

I haven't tried this one on a bike with disc brakes but I highly suspect that it wouldn't work. I have recently purchased a different rack for one of my bikes that does have disk brakes and it has spacers at the bottom to allow it to work with the disk brakes.

I use it for my "roadie" and it rides along side my wife's mountian bike and have not noticed any contact between the bikes,very happy with this purshase.

It could be a diffrance in volts/ampsI have no issues with this making my iphone hot, but it is also in a handlebar grip getting air when I ride.

Is not a problem because between one bike go to the front the other go to the back. You always use the same mount.

My 26" MTB has disc brakes, and this stand did NOT work with it. On the front wheel, the rotor leaned heavily on the stand support. On the rear wheel, the stand support hit my derailleur. I decided to go with another one-bike stand that I had already had success with and just place them side-by-side. The other benefit of that is you can offset them slightly if needed.

Yes, doesn't impede access to the bars. I use it on MT bike bars, I modified a Mt bike I love with 700c wheels and the areo bars and have easy access to the brakes and shifters. I'm going to put a set on my road bike, makes riding more comfortable for me.

I have two fairly high end mountain bike (Scott Spark 940 and Niner Air 9) and neither of these bikes are able to use the attachment. I haven't tried on my road bike but I am a little weary of hauling my kid on my carbon fiber road bike as I am not sure if the bike was designed for those type of forces.

Sorry, don't have disc brakes on my bike. No idea about the Surly. Any problem might be on where the u-bolt goes around the fork. On my bike the u-bolt sits 6 inches above the axle. You'll just have to check for clearance.

Yes, there should not be a problem, when you buy the cable that is what you really have to look out for, make sure you buy Road bike break cable, the head is different for MTB and road. Make sure the bike is step up to brake not to lock up the wheels. Modulation not skidding is what you want in your breaks... Best of Luck, they have a neat feature on the front side, a small pin slides in and out to bring the lever a bit closer to the handlebar. Have fun and keep riding

It should do just fine. It is designed to be clamped in place on the outside of your bike frame by the nut or quick release that keeps your wheel in place. It fits flat against the outside of the frame; the disc brake is on the inside. There will be no interference. Not to mention, I bought it to move the unit back so my heel would stop catching the clamp version of the hitch. This is far better and safer I think.

It should be fine. It connects on the outside of the rim away from the disc brakes. This is a good basic rear rack. It is adjustable for different sizes of bikes.

No interference with cables. It's not a rigid container, so you might experience a little shifting on rough terrain, but nothing that interferes with the rider.

I have the tranz-X kickstand and it fits perfectly on my GT mtb. It doesn't interfere with the disc brake. I am not familiar with the other kickstand.

I don't see an issue. The mount has rubber grips on the clap and it squeezes the phone very tight. It works great with my iPhone 5 with a thicker case on it.

Depends on the bike's frame. If you are replacing the front brake and the bike originally had a center pivot brake like the Pyramid, then yes. If the bike frame has brake posts located on each for fork tube, then no. If you are replacing the rear brake on your bike, it must have a bracket with a single hole located between the seat stay tubes.
