can anyone tell me more about the price to put disc brake?

Question

hi..
i'm doing XC and sometime cycle in mud and rain
so, i need a disc brake
but i need to change the fork and maybe wheelset
i can get a scott 100mm fork at 75SGD
and, i need to get a shimano wheelset compatible to disc brake (as cheap as possible) because of some problem
i'm currently using a shimano dual control V-brake lever

1)i don't know if scott suspension is good or not.. please give some advice

2)does anyone know how much is the cheapest i can get for shimano wheelset? (state country currency)

3)do i need to change the lever if i use mechanical disc brake?

Answer 1

Hi... I don't know how good the Scott fork is, I've never heard of it. Don't go searching for Shimano wheelsets, I think they only have expensive ones (not sure, but I think that they only offer it at XT and XTR levels).

Check pricepoint, they have some good offers on wheels.

This aren't the flashiest wheelset, but they work.

For forks, check RockShox Tora or Marzocchi MX series. Probably from 200 to 300 or so.

For brakes, if you want mechanical brakes, go with Avid BB 7, they're by far the best mech ones.

They're like 65 per brake, so it's like 130 bucks for the pair, but consider something more for cables and manual labor.

specific that's approximately 4 hundred too lots each and every rotor fee 20 a bite do no longer turn them basically replace them then the pads will fee approximately 15 for the front and 20 for the rear and that they are common to do your self be careful to no longer over tork the wheel once you positioned it back on while you evaluate which will warp the hot rotors i do one wheel at a time through fact if there's a undertaking you're unsure approximately you may seem on the different component i additionally might propose you purchase a e book on your vehicle
