TrialsIsHard Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 The general trend on 24's is front disk, and either hs33 or disk on the rear. On my zoot I have an Avid Elixr on the front (which isnt ideal, but it does the job) You would obviously have to have the front wheel re-laced to a disk hub, but that would be worth it! http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/disc_brakes/avid_bb7_09/c12p10083.html that would be more than adequate as well. V brake on the back, as long as you get some good pads and V brake arms it will be perfect. something like this would do perfectly http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/vbrake_calipers/shimano_acera/c109p10985.html You also have the choice of using a V brake Evo kit, so you can fit a HS33. But these can be flexy, and probably worse than a well set up V brake. Hope this helps a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBarnes Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Awsome thats perfect! what disc thing would i need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 if by "disk thing" you mean rotor size, you need a 160mm. Lets try to use proper english though You would also need to re-lace your wheel to a disk hub. Which could be expensive.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBarnes Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 haha sorry i need to learn this whole bike lingo so im a bit confused about the re lacing? would it be easier to just buy a new wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
