my bike has disc breaks in the front except the back are v breaks and i wanted to switch to disc break in the back to is this possible, can you make a video on how to do that
@azamzzr250 disc brakes work better cause they can operate at higher temps and work better in mud and wet conditions .. if you set them right mechanical discs work just as well as hydraulic ones
Man u did it in a confusing and wrong way, u are supposed to put the wheel and rotor before tightening the caliper, u did it but messed up at first, ha I got the same tires and brake calipers!
@hallmonitor98 if you've got mechanial disc brakes then you don't need any different levers or cables just new cables and outers so there long enough
if it was hydro though you get everything when you buy it then you just fit the hose if its not all ready done and install it on the bike and then bleed it
My current hubs do not have the ability to accept the disc, do I have to repalce the entire wheel, or can I just purchase a hub and use the same spokes and rim, then install the disc?
@PDopey Either way works, but I would suggest buying entire new wheels, because the cost of a new hub and getting the wheel built and new spokes if you need them won't be much different than buying a new wheelset, which you could get as disc specific.
@bisalyep NO!! you don't at all you can even use bmx brake levers if you only used one finger to brake instead of moving every thing further up your bars
all you need to install mechanical disc brakes are :
new cable
new outer cable/housing
obv the wheels that will take disc brakes and again obv the rotor adn calliper . hydraulic breaks come with everything you need straight out the box
@seanypants91 Yes but it's probably more cost effective to buy a bike with disc brakes. You'll need to add disc brakes, change the brake levers and add rotors. So lots of upgrades.
i have a Fuji Panic and i am very interested in installing disks on them. it has the holes on the fork so they could be outfitted with it but the only think i really need to know is how i can attach the rotor to the wheel. is there any adapter needed?
you need to have a hub that can take the disc brake, notice how that hub has the holes for the rotor in it and most bikes that come with cantilever/pad brakes wont have a disc compatible hub.
while searching i finally found the solution to my problem and for anyone else that wants to know. they sell adapters that can can fit the center of the wheel like a glove instead of entire wheel swap out which can be costly. But even so i guess going for the disks can be very costly but i think will be worth it because of its superior & smoother stopping power.
Where can I buy these packages for the disk brakes?

@bisalyep You could use a v-brake lever on a cable disc brake but not on hydraulic.

Is there an order to install the breakes (front first then rear or viceversa)?
While taking the old brakes out,, do i need to bleed them, or is it all sealed , meaning it wont leak??
Thanks.

No order, And if you are removing the entire unit you won't need to bleed them.

Bleed your brakes, so basically if you don't know what that is, go to a bike shop and let them do it :D
