Upgrading to disc brakes

[Johan HarrisChristensen]

Is there any chance to upgrade my 98 ARC to disc brakes. Somebody to help???

it depends if your frame has the bracket to affix the disc on the back of your frame i,e, near left dropout if it has then theres no problem as most modern forks have the bracket I am taking it that you run suss forks if you have rigid with no bracket it means a new set of forks if you do not have a rear bracket you could still run a disc on the front and i,m sure someone do,nt know who was doing a bolt on bracket Andrew will probably know more than I do hope this helps

There is a kit from A2Z that bolts over the rear dropout to allow a disc to be mounted.
Its the best adaptor I have seen so far.

or in this case Eddy B well done Ed then all you need is a fork with the bracket

thanks.
but you will need new hubs, oh and the new discs, and calipers and levers, the hose will need zipties for fixing to the frame.

i would receommend leaving alone and enjoying the v-Brakes in an old skool kind of way.
If you want better braking get some swisstop pads.
