Will these work on an old mountain bike? I'm thinking about getting into mountain biking and need to test the waters on an old freebie Roadmaster.

As far as I know, yes. I've seen some pads longer than these but not thicker, and not requiring any other mode of attachment. I've used them on road bikes and hybrid road-mountain bikes. But, to be sure, I would stop by a bicycle retailer and take a look at various models.

I think it will work on your old mountain bike because the old mountain bikes uses the caliper type of braking system, but to make sure just check it, it is easy to tell the difference between the old caliper and the new caliper style.

As long as you have caliper style brakes (I googled your bike and it looks like you do) then it looks like this should work for you.

No, these are made for mountain bikes so these would not be good choice for a road bike.

I believe so. As long as your rear tire is within the proper size your bike will work in it. Just know your mountain bike tread will wear down.

I have them on my stock Specialized mountain bike. They probably will fit. You can measure your diameter compared to the specs given, if any.

I installed them on a vintage Puch from the early 80s. The style of the pads was quite commonly used throughout that period on road bikes, BMX bikes, and early mountain bikes. Pretty universal. And inexpensive enough that even if they don't fit, it really hasn't cost you much to try them.

Yes these should work on your trek. When first starting out loosen the tension on the pedals until you get used to them.

Probably not this set is a larger set and work for a mountain bike but not for a road bike

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.

They should work fine. I have seen a lot of reviews saying they are fragile. I have had them on a GMC 2500 for two years in all kinds of driving conditions in Montana, with absolutely no problems.

They won't work. As you have stated, these straps go through 2 openings on the pedal. Go to your local bike shop to pick some new pedals up! These straps are worth it!

They work wonderful on my 2007 Sierra which has a 4 -2 Drop on it. Seemed like anytime I hit a bump, it would eat at my tire. However sense installing them almost four months ago, I have yet for it to happen again. I put them on with bolt going up, just outside the front springs. Make sure the bolt on top is secured then turn guard until hand tight then 1/4 turn again turning them both at same time, you want ideally 2- 2 1/2 inches between the frame and guard so that it still allows for a smooth ride

I used it on a road bike build & it has worked out just fine for me. Not sure about a mountain bike.

These won't work for that type of axle. I have this hitch and believe they will only work with the standard quick release as found on most road bikes.

I haven't worked as a bicycle mechanic for over thirty years, but I don't see why these wouldn't work on a 24" MTB.

They are made for Dia Compe brand brakes, not Shimano. That said, will they? Perhaps. Cheap enough to try it, I think, if they visually look compatible.

I put them on my kid's 24" BMX bike which had pretty fat tires which were about the same width as a mountain bike. There was plenty of room to spare when I installed them. I think they'll work fine.

As long as you have clearance they should work. Speaker mount screw patterns are fairly universal. They should work. That said I had to modify the fit on my 2005 Road Glide. But the speakers are in and sound great.
