The product description indicates that the bike comes with dual brake levers. Could you please elaborate on what this is and how it works.

There are two brake levers for each brake. Two small ones on the top of the steering bar, so big ones behind the curve of the handles (you are going to use them while leaning on it).I used the small ones once, because the right big lever broke.

Dual brake levers means it comes with the standard brake STIs on the front of the drops as well as brake levers on the front of the handle bars near the stem. This can be useful if you are doing city riding with lots of stopping.

This bike does not come equipped with 2 sets of brake levers. There is 1 front brake lever, and 1 rear brake lever.

There is a hand break on one side that engages when you squeeze the lever. Just like a bike with hand breaks

No idea. Finally gave up on it, tossed it, and ordered a different bike. Once the B R F Bike broke--there was no fixing it. The handlebar contraptions kept coming off no matter how we tried to toghten them. Sorry to disappoint.

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.

They have the back-pedal brake, or foot brake...I think it is the same as the coaster brake. There are no hand brakes, just the type that slow or stop the bike when they pedal backwards.

Yes, front and back.......quick release levers is usually on left side of wheel.. Bike is in stock at Dick's Spoting Goods and you can see it there.

The bike has brifters, to change gears you push the brake lever inward, to shift in the opposite direction there is a small black tab you push down on the inner side of the brake hood.

Based on feedback from other reviews I replaced the brakes before I used the bike! I am very very happy with the bike overall - by upgrading the brakes, the chain tensioner, and new rim tape. This is a screaming bike,make sure you have a bike shop give it a tune-up before riding.

No, they are not brake-lever-combined-with-shifters, also known as "brifters." These are just brake levers and are good for setups that might have older style bar-end shifters or downtube shifters.

Yes, this bike has a rear-wheel coaster brake as well as a front-wheel hand brake.

the standard brakes? i install one and no problems. I think the device can have a lock to choose what side will be turn i mean the device can turn both sides on anytime , left -right and thats a security issue for me. if i want my dog stay only at right or only at left cant do that with the actual design. I would recommend these device anyway, and my bike is a trek with the standard brakes. Not disk brakes.

I looked at a couple of pictures of this Schwinn model. It doesn't look like it has the rear mounting posts that newer bikes have. Supposedly that isn't a problem because you can use P clamps to create mounting posts on the two tines or frame extensions that normally have these posts. However, I'm not even sure that the Schwinn sports world has two tines. (This wording is pretty awkward.) You may want to take your bike to a bike shop and ask an expert. You may only be able to use the time of rack that wraps around the seat post. I have one of those, and it works quite well.

Both. If you reverse pedal it brakes and also there is a handlebar brake for the front tire.

These brakes should work with any lever but they are designed for bikes with 700c wheels. They usually don't have the reach for 27 inch wheels

Yes. The handle operates the front brake and the rear brake is operated by back-pedaling. Great bike!

It's the pair: from the picture, the one with the long bolt is the front and the other is the rear. Check your front fork. The fork on my Specialized Roubaix actually was threaded to accept the bolt (although I took two days to figure that out) so all I had to do was spin it into place. Most of the YouTube videos show mounting the brake using one of the allen-headed barrel nuts that come with the kit. I DID use a barrel nut on the rear.
