Is this a long pull brake? Thanks

It does have enough of a pull to allow plenty of clearance between the pads and the wheel. Hope I have answered your question.

Sorry...but I haven't had a chance to pull my trailer yet. I really think it was exactly what I was looking for. I've used similar spring assist springs but believe the Helwig will be much better. MAKE SURE you get the set made four your truck. Mine was a little confusing.

Yes. It only pulls out so far and stops. I think the length is in the description. I have had these for 10 years with no problem. This is the second pair for more flexibility.

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.

Yes it is, but I'd avoid it. I ordered one and returned it. Poor design. And it bolts on which means you now have a curb edger. To get back to a regular edger, you have to unbolt it, change axles, etc.

The front brake is similar to a bicycle brake: you pull a lever and the pad touches the wheel. The rear "brake" is really just pressing the rear mudguard down onto the rear wheel to slow it.

No, it is a single pull single shot device. Luckily, the pull is very easy and shouldn't take more than 1/2 second

Not sure, but it sounds like cable needs to be shortened slightly. This is usually done by adjusting the fittings where the cable attaches to the brake handle.

The brake seems to work fine. I have not really needed to use it much - just to slow down if I get going too fast in the grocery store or something. I just haven't needed to use it. But the few times I have used it, it stopped me without any trouble. I had read that maybe dual brakes would be better, but this one has been just fine for me!!

Yes, these are NOT linear pull brake levers, so they will work fine with any non-linear dual-pivot brakes like SRAM Apex. I recommend using them only as interrupteurs, not as primary brake levers (although I see them set up on fixies that way all the time)... the ball-end of your brake cable won't seat properly.

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

Not sure but the shortest to lock is 22 5/8" and the longest is 30 1/8". I have one on the clutch to steering wheel and the second from the brake to the gear shift on my tracker.

Theoretically, your cantilever brakes have half the mechanical leverage as these linear pull brakes. So the canti levers have double the mechanical leverage than brake levers for linear pulls. So if you use canti levers with linear pull brakes, the brakes will be very strong and you will have to be careful pulling on the levers so you don't flip.

I just had this installed last week and they didn't need to extend the brake lines. I'm in a 2006 v6 4 door

I only have a 12 foot trailer that I pull with this brake system on and it has been really good for that the trailer only weighs probably two or three thousand enclosed trailer I have a fully loaded it's probably only 3000

yes but the design leads to debris in the started mechanism that prevents the pulll system to work. Don't buy it. I have mine in the shop twice in two months for repair.

it's long enough. You don't want it too long. Yeah it looks short in the picture but trust me...it's long enough if properly installed.Hope I helped you.Dave C.- NH
