Do the hand levers need to be replaced when these brakes are replaced?

No, I replaced the levers because the springs were broken & the arms did not return.

I just replaced the brakes and kept the old hand levers. The previous brakes were the same model (plastic spring covers had broken).

yes, everything needed to get your brakes working in fine shape. Wil need tools like wrenches and allen set.

You should only need 1 set. The set comes with four pads - 2 for each side. Dont forget about rotors and pad sensing wires that tell you when the brake pads are low. Recommended you replace all the aforementioned at the same time.

There are hand brakes on each handlebar that work on the rear wheels. Very effective, They also can be locked to act as parking brakes. WALT

Yes, but you will also need to replace.. Brake levers. V-brakes use a different pull ratio... Bare cables must be replaced with housed cables... You will need cable housing stops on the frame. If the frame does not have them, you will need bolt-ons.

Yes, instead of squeezing the brake levers, push them towards the ground and the brake stays locked indefinitely. Pull them up to release.

Yes, everything you need to upgrade the rotors and pads were there. Great brakes for the money. I highly recommend.

They replace the grips. You take off the original ones and screw these new ones on.

Yes, just make sure the levers you have are for V-Brakes, not Cantilevers - depending on the year of your bike. Otherwise they will feel "mushy."

Yes you could. Check the seat mounting, it's possible you have them mounted wrong and need to be spun 180 degrees. The lever actually relieves the cylinder "not easily". but with the seat removed the cylinder could be actuated by hand.

Only the hand brakes, I have had used hand brakes for years, they work very well. One control works the front brake, the other the rear brake. We rented bicycles with a cruising bike, I almost was run over because the brakes did not engage quickly enough.

All the stock parts you take off will be replaced. Their should be two rods in the box. Long for the brake and a short for the shifter. You have to attach the links to the shifter rod. No rod- call and raise hell!

very easy. just remove a few screws and off comes the lever handle, remove the old and replace with the new.
