Decent Mechanical Disc

[Aggie_Ama]

Ama, found this in a different thread from you.


Do I understand correctly that you want to put mech disk brakes on a craig's list find? So that's around a $200-250 upgrade, what's the total bike worth?

Or, are you talking a different bike..

Precisely, why I don't want hydraulic. This bike was about a $700 new bike. It is 2005 Scott Contessa 30. But since we are going to Alaska this summer on DH's work bonus (if he gets one) I am not getting a fully for a while. So this bike is what I have for now and honestly I REALLY like my bike. It is stock to that Bikepedia link except DH gave me some Mavic Crosslands he had put on his HT and never got to put many miles on.

Maybe I should just tell the man to leave well enough alone and let me use my V-Brakes? I mean we don't ride in wet, more like dust! And I don't do much crazy downhill riding at all and nothing you can even call true downhill in Texas.
