I have a 26 inch MTB.

I am thinking of converting the rear to disk brakes.

What kind of rim would I need?

Thanks.


Doesn't matter.
It can be a 'rim brake rim' or a 'hub brake rim'.

What you do need is a different frame.
And then a disc hub, rotor, caliper, lever.


Some older 26in MTB did have mounts for both, ie V and disk brakes, though
admittedly not that many.
