upgrading from vbrakes to disc

Recommended Posts

What are all the steps involved and parts required.

 

I need the full hydraulic disc brake system.

My frame and fork CAN take disc brakes

I assume i need new wheels as well

 

anything else?

all you need it disc hubs. you can get these laced to your existing rim-brake rims. decent set of wheels would set you back at least R3500. rebuild with new spokes could cost as little as a grand.

lekker. i don't know about prices in the visdorpie, but i'm working on R10 a spoke and R150 per rebuild.

I can recommend getting novatec disc hubs. They are cheap, but the quality is very good. If you've got decent rims at the moment, keep them and just add the hubs.

Depending your fork and the size of the rotor, you may also require a special adaptor to fit the front dick brake onto it
