Review: Learned new skill - these are perfect - Quality brakes - easy to install (after watching a couple YouTube videos just to make sure I am adjusting them and spacing them correctly. I am NOT a bike mechanic - but, I'm not afraid of trying to do things myself, and I figure, if I'm shifting from marathons to Sprint-->Olympic triathlon style events, I'm going to be on a bike a whole lot more (previously only when suffering a running injury)... hence, I better know how to fix things myself - if you're out on a ride and something breaks, you're the only one you can count on, just be prepared and knowledgeable. My other brakes weren't "bad" - but they were stock... I figure I can upgrade my brakes, brake lines, saddle, safety features, etc - all on my own - learn a skill and be self-sufficient - and have a little fun along the way. These brakes are easy - complete (have all the parts you need). They are of course sleek, classy/very sharp looking, operate flawlessly, and actually pretty easy to install. If you haven't before, and are thinking about it... just do it... these are inexpensive and very nice... the only thing is I wish I had ordered a rear set as well (when you buy the lines, it comes with lines for both front & back)... that way I KNOW they're both NEW and installed correctly... if not, then I can only blame myself! Review: Never squeals, stops great - This works perfectly. It was easy to install, and I love it Tips: Adjust them to provide a slight toe. If you don't know what this is, look up on youtube. Afterward also be sure to use the little spring adjuster screws if one side touches the wheel. ## Features - Efficient design with low operating Forces - Designed for smooth and quiet stopping power - 107 mm arch - X-type v-brake - Mudguard prevents excess accumulation of mud ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00MWHDMYU | | Best Sellers Rank | #293,010 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #32 in Bike Rim Brake Sets | | Brand Name | SHIMANO | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (964) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00689228610231 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 4"L x 1"W x 3"H | | Item Weight | 10.24 ounces | | Manufacturer | Cycle Force Group | | Manufacturer Part Number | 587754 | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model Number | 587754 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | UPC | 689228610231 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SHIMANO - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Aluminum - **Number of Pieces:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 4"L x 1"W x 3"H ## Images ![BR-T4000 Front V-Brake, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qzS5o46IL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this work on a 26in HBC bike** A: If the current bike already has v brake mounts on the fork and frame, then these vbrakes should bolt directly in its place. **Q: Will these work for my trek 820 mountain bike** A: The correct answer is 'Maybe." Trek 820s were introduced in the late 1980's and for many years did not have V-brakes like these BR-T4000. The pull length on the levers and the braze-on where the brakes attach may not be appropriate depending on the year of your bike. More recent 820s do have v-brakes, and these shimanos will work on those. I strongly suggest you google image bicycle brake types and see if your current brakes are center pull caliper (common on 820's), side pull caliper, cantilever or v-brakes like these. **Q: Does this fit a schwinn touring bike?** A: Dear valued customer, If your bicycle has V-brake mounts, then this Shimano BR-T4000 would work for you. If you have any technical questions feel free to call us at 1-877-BIKEAID (245-32413) and we would be pleased to assist you. Thanks and best. **Q: Can this fit on the rear of a bike??? If not, then why? It’s looks exactly the same as the front** A: It is exactly the same as the front v-brake. It will fit, if you have bosses on the rear seat stays & they are spec’s for this v-brake size. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learned new skill - these are perfect *by 1***P on November 3, 2016* Quality brakes - easy to install (after watching a couple YouTube videos just to make sure I am adjusting them and spacing them correctly.
