hello. do these caliper work with road bike? i have fuji sportif 2.0 road bike with promax mechanical disk brake. i wonder if these caliper will work
1084623
yes they will bolt up in the same place. and you like them better than promax

No. There are two different versions of the BB7; one for road and one for MTB. The brake caliper needs to be matched up with the brake lever (MTB=long pull and ROAD=short pull). You can't mix and match without an adapter such as what is sold by ProblemSolvers, called a "Travel Agent."

as long as the rotors and the calipers line up ok sure. but why put disc brakes on a road bike. In my opinion you don't need the stoping power of disc brakes on a road bike.

I mounted them on my Cannondale CAADX. Need to download mounting instruction. You will need to install inline brake cable adjustors (Shimano $20-25 on Amazon) as the BB7's don't have adjustors on them. Once I did that, perfect, can't understand for the price why they don't come BB&'s.

Avid makes a road-bike-specific model that works better with road brake levers, since they do not pull enough cable to make the MTB brke calipers operate properly.

Hi--When I purchased the cables several month ago, 1 set included 4 cables with housing: 2 for brakes and 2 for shifters--Because the cable have dual fittings, one at either end, they may be used for either mountain or road bikes--Cables have to be removed from the housings after cutting the fitting to be discarded, and the housing then measured for appropriate length--you can use your current housing length as a guide, if you are satisfied with the length--Otherwise, estimate the various lengths by running the cable along its course from the brake and shifter levers to the appropriate front/rear brake/derailleur--You will need a good set of cable cutters, esp for the housing, so that it doesn't get crushed--One "heads-up"--The shifter cable housing is NOT braided, and thus is NOT optimal for current modern indexed shifters, although it will work with older friction shifters--Go to the PARK TOOL website, www.parktool.com, for more information--It's an excellent site for "how to" information about repairs, with free access to downloads/print-outs--Hope that this is of help, to you--Good luck--Steve

I am so sorry, I purchase this Machine for my brother as a gift and for best answer i would check with the Fuji website to get the true accurate answer. Meanwhile i will forward this question to my brother to see if he can help you with the answer.

Yes most v brake levers will work with most major mechanical disc brakes, sorry for the delay on my response. Thank goodness Christmas is over.

Yeap. Any frame can mount disc calipers, so long as the frame has built in mounting points. This one does.

I'm not sure but I don't believe these brakes will work on a bike with 20 inch tires. Caliper brakes are intended for use on bikes that have 700C rims. Mostly high performance road bikes JACK

Sorry, I don't have disc brakes on my bike. I was under the impression that there were different models for bikes with disc brakes, but you would have to look at the Ibera website to doublecheck.

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.

These are designed to work with the Shimano SPD-SL pedals.http://bike.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/us/index/products/pedals/road.html

Wish I could help, I have no idea though. I have a street glide, they work great in the fairing of it.

I had forks and frame with disc mounts already however I'm pretty certain you can get adapters. One thing for sure, These are terrific - I looked I to these a good bit before buying and would clearly recommend... Very easy to install - look for model on YouTube and it'll be a snap! Best of all, you'll be in stopping heaven - really, you'll never want caliper or 'v' brakes again. Good luck

You don't see very many mountain bikes with fenders. That being said, if the fender sits close to the tire then this rack would probably work. This rack is for models with disc brakes, but that just means it is a little wider and has spacers that are part of the rack to clear the caliper. It will work fine on non disc brake bikes, but it costs a bit more than the one for non disc brake equipped bikes. . The rear stays on a mountain bike can be a bit wider than those on a road bike, this may work to your advantage, but you may need to trim the spacers. The rack I see on most mountain bikes only attaches to the seat tube, Topeak makes a model like this. You don't see very many mountain bikes with fenders.

NO. Not without a custom part that you would have make yourself. I went down this road myself and there was no way to make it work short of fabricating a metal bracket. most bikes will have a place to mount normal break calipers. I dismantled my disc break and added a regular caliper break and it works just fine. (That's about the best you can do) I hope this helps! Great wheel, I highly recommend this electric wheel.

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.

It depends on the mortor bike they are intended for. They are usually sold in pairs so if the bike uses the same pads for front and rear brakes then it is probable that 2 pairs will be needed for the front and one pair for the rear. The number of pairs depends on the number of brake calipers on the bike. e.g. twin calipers on the front and one caliper on the rear is fairly normal for a road bike however the enquirer's bike may only have one caliper front and one caliper rear.

Yes, it depends on wether you hav center pull, v-brakes,or cantilever. At most you may nee to fiddle with the adjustment a bit. I used these on short throw side pull breaks on a road bike. It just depends on the application.

They should work with that tire size but you must check the distance between the centerline of the mounting holes to the centerline of the braking surface on both your bikes front qnd rear wheels. These are short calipers and may not be long enough for your particular application. Tektro makes calipers in several different lengths and can be found on the Harris Cyclery website.
