Road Tires on a MTB

[ravz86]

Why would you need brakes?

 

You need a cutthroat shaver: just shave all the knobblies off

 

Seriously: all you need are other tyres. Just like you can size up 2.0 to 2.2 to 2.5 for rougher MTB, you can size down for road.

 

The disc brakes are attached to a specific wheelset right? So if I want a new wheel set I will need to attach a set of brakes to it.

If you get new wheels, you could just move the discs across. You don't need new wheels, though: just tyres.

 

As others have stated, I wouldn't bother. If you do a lot of road races, get a roadie. If you're only doing the 94.7, ride your knobblies.
