Do these work with cantilever brakes or are they v-brake only?

Shouldn't make any difference. You have to cut cables to length and reuse the hardware on your brakes at the business end of the cable.

With the long levers, there should be 2 pin positions. One for V-Brakes and the lowerone for Caliper or Cantilever brakes. Short brake levers are pinned for V-brakes only.

Actually, there is a different mechanical advantage (think amount of cable pull) on these levers than for levers intended for cantilever brakes. True, some people have used these levers for cantis, but that might result in poor braking power when you need it. I would recommend buying the shifter pods alone, and buy brake levers separate. Not only will your brakes work better and more safely, but you can replace the individual parts when they wear out, rather than have to buy a full new set when just the shifter portion wears out. Happy riding!

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

I have used them with v brakes and disk brakes, however there should be no reason for them not to work since you are only pulling a cable to close the brakes.

I have used them with disc brakes without a problem and would imagine they would work with all types because it is simply a wire that is being pulled. Same in all cases.

I had the same set of shifters on two bikes. 1 with v-brakes, 1 with cantilever brakes. No problems with either.

I looked at the page and "V-brake compatible" I would not recommend use with disk brakes That being said you could try calling Shimano tech support Shimano American Corp. (949) 951-5003 to answer application question I would not trust a bike shop employee with this question

I have it on a diamondback overdrive V, its a 29we without disc brakes. The foot pad is fully extended but works just fine.

The picture shows v brake mounts. You should change the picture if it's disc brake only.

I personally purchased this item for my cantilever brakes and it worked like a charm.

Mine was the older V brakes, the disc brake model had just come out mine was old stock. Sorry no idea on the forks that's too technical for me lol

it should. it has a setting for both canti and v brakes. and discs will work with 1 of those settings.

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.

If you mean "V-brakes" no, there is no mounting available for said brakes. This fork only has mounting for a disk brake caliper. Hope that helps

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.

Have no idea. They are V-brakes, not canti and I believe have a standard length. It is not specified on the SRAM/Avid website.

My fork ( rock shox Reba rl )does not have accommodations for v brakes. Many of the newer models do not

Colin, I've used the Tekro Cross levers for both bikes with caliper brakes and v-brakes and they work great for both. Very short, firm pull with the calipers, and the adjust barrel makes fine tuning pad clearance 'so easy a caveman could do it.'

I think they would. The cable "pull" on my v-brakes is 16mm, on my road bike calipers is about 11mm, so you could back off your caliper brake pads a bit and probably have a good lever feel. Just my opinion though.

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.

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

They work with Shimano SH51 style cleats, single direction and multi-direction. And they are very strong, its a chromoly spindle, although this is designed as a commuter/hybrid pedal, not for mountain biking as it is single sided.
