7. Disc calipers are mounted to brazed-on brake tabs located on either the chain or wheel stays.

Modern suspension forks will have those tabs. There is an aftermarket product that will allow you to install a disc setup. I've never seen one in the wild, and don't know if I'd bother spending the money for such a conversion.


Typical brake mount on wheel stay side of dropout.



Brake Therepy disc conversion kit.

I'm gonna save the trail riding for tomorrow. Today I'm glued to the teevee and watching the basketball tourney. I also foresee a nap in my future!
