I own a mountain bike, these brakes would be appropriate for it? 26

Probably not; most mountain bikes have straight pull brakes if they don't have disk. Straight pull brakes have a different mount than caliper. Sometimes the mount can handle both, but that's more common on bikes older than 10 years ago or longer even. You typically can't mix straight pull levers with caliper brakes and vice versa. So even if you do have the mounts you need to make sure you have the properly matched caliper levers.

Maybe, maybe not. The description gives specs to use to check for fitting on any bike. You will need a metric ruler to measure your particular brake layout to determine if thy fot or not. These are ok brakes and I am only using he front one on my motorized bike. Check with a local bike shop should you need help with these measurements. Good luck!

They would work, but most mountain bikes use disk brakes. These are more appropriate for ordinary street use.

Tires are signifigantly smaller than mountain. I had to use smaller tubes to get the right fit. Your old MTB tubes will likely not fit.

Paul, I bought 2 sets and used these EF-51 on 2- 1994 Schwinn mountian bikes with cantilever brakes and they work great.

Yes these will work, however depending on your riding level there may be a better brake for you. If you do higher level road or mountain biking I would suggest a different pad, but this pad is perfect for casual riding or flat ground cruising.

Ive owned 5 of these and never had a brake problem. You need the 24 inch version rather than the 26 inch.

I would say so if you have the clearance between the tire and the fork/frame or brakes depending on the kind (V-brakes, I imagine, if not discs, which wouldn't matter). A quarter inch of space would be about a minimum, I would guess, but you've probably either got no clearance or plenty. Tire-wise, they're plenty wide to cover the moderately treaded 700c x 38 I have and could maybe handle a 40, so you're good if you've got skinnier than that. They're designed for use with eyelets, but you could probably be creative with clips from the hardware store if your bike doesn't have them. I imagine this is a versatile city/hybrid kind of bike so I'd be surprised if these didn't instal easily.

I just got a set to use on my 1968 Pogliaghi because the original pad material for its Universal 68 brakes is hard as a rock and doesn't even slow the bike down! These were highly recommended to me, the pads I received are fresh and the face IS angled slightly for any normal rim like the guy who posted the original question was asking. I bought an extra set and look forward to using them on another bike. I do not expect any problems with them and David Morgan, you shouldn't have any either!

I do not own that particular bike; but I looked at images online and these brakes would be perfect replacements!

Indeed they would. I installed these on my mountain bike well over a year ago and bike very often. They do not budge! I have dropped the bike many times and they seem bullet proof. My favorite feature on this bike... A 1600.00 bike.

I suppose you could use bar end shifters on these handlebars. I use thumb shifters from a trail bike. There is enough room on handlebar ends for the shifters and the brakes.Cliff Joens

The center of the handlebars (stock) are 25.4mm. However, learning from my mistakes, the diameter of the bar tapers down from the center so I would suggest finding brake levers from 22-24mm. That or get shims at a LBS, though for brakes it's a huge meh :/

What model bike are you mounting these on? Are you upgrading an existing disk caliper or moving from a rim caliper to disk brakes?

Look at the side walls of your bikes current tires. If its 26" wheel then they will work just fine. For the price its a nice tire.

I installed them on my wife's mountain cantilever brakes with no problems, they work good. Getting the shifter set will take some work and adjustments.

The brakes fit hubs that are part of the wheel. If you have a non disc bike, you would also need new wheels with compatible hubs.

Theoretically yes, but you might have cable tension and pad wear issues. I'd go ahead and get brakes more suited to a smaller rim size

I found the cycle pro to be sturdy and well made. Additionally, I think the placement of the feet in the right way (level, solid ground ect) I think it would be right for a mountain bike.
