    Default Switching over to discs

    Thinking of switching to discs. I had recently bought a Mavic crossroc back wheel, which is not disc ready.

    Question:
    To prepare for discs do guys ussually switch out their hubs on existing wheels or just go get whole new wheel set?
    Thx

    Buying disc ready wheelsets would make the job easier. Just bolt em on. It depends if you can lace / true the wheels yourself. If your going to have your lbs do it, I would suggest buying the rims disc-ready if you want to save $$$ or time. This way when you buy the kit you will only have to torque in the 6 rotor screws (per wheel) and the 2 allens on the frame and fork. Jenson usa has a Hayes mech. set on sale right now. Everything but the cables for around $100. I'm using Avid mech. and they rock. If your freeriding / downhilling you will want to get hydraulics.

    Yes...indeed that is a nice ride Evil.

    Sorry, I just feel pulled in a different direction.
    Not necessarily right, maybe wrong, but different.
    Titus frame is on it's way.

    Got me a lil project.
