Upgrading To An Avid Disk Brake

Recommended Posts

That post made no sense :)

Anyway:

Echo Easy Disc Only = approx. £80

Avid brake = £50-ish (call it £55 incl. cable)

Avid SD5 lever = £10

Total = £145 or so for that.

If you need the hub too, it's gonna be about £38 for a Hope XC front hub, then an additional £15 for spokes 'n' build (maybe as much as £20).

So, in total, you're looking at £203 or so.

Not really? Disc hubs aren't worth getting cheap crappy versions of 'cos they'll die, wheelbuilding doesn't get cheaper, the Avid disc is £49.99 from CRC atm, that Avid lever's cheap anyway? You could get some cheapo forks, but they'd be heavy and weak?

So it's either do it and don't cut corners, do it and cut corners and end up with broken components, or just get a front Magura or something.
