Going by the old adage of "you can only go as fast as you can stop"

Avid BB7 mech disc brakes to replace the stock (and weak) Tektro ones

Hi, Im looking for a basic bicycle, nothing too fantastic, gears a bonus. Budget $150, just for some urban riding etc. Any shops to recommend?

Like tecnica mentioned, best to check if your fork can handle such a big rotor. If it wasn't designed to handle 203mm discs, you risk having your fork's lower leg break from the braking stresses. :eek:
