Mountain BIke-build question
I built a road bike last year and I am trying to build a mountain bike
now as I have some spare wheels and parts I could use to help build it. I am mostly going to use this as a road/dirt road bike in winter time but will do some offroad on occassion. I am currently looking for an inexpensive suspension fork and I have noticed that some are disc brake only which seem to have the best price. I don't really know much about disc brakes. Is there a link on how they work and how to install them? Is that much harder? I was planning on buying a fork with cantilever brakes but haven't found one at a lower price to purchase but I see the prices on disc brakes are alot more too so there may be an offset. Also, I already have a MTN Bike with an older 7 speed setup. Is it easy to find 7sp parts for a new MTN bike I am building now since I am wanting to be able to swap wheels. Thanks in advance Matt p |
