mavic 717/dt comp/xt hubs - $350~
vee brakes can look for Avid SD7, or the shimano mtb range(deore, LX, XT).. shud hover ard $100+..
u need to check whether ur fork and frame is disc ready, that is does the fork and frame have disc tabs..Thanks tecnica,assuming I change all those stuff,any other stuff that I need to budget for?Like deraileur or fork or anything?That is on the premise that I am upgrading to disc brakes in the future when I decide to go offroad.As before,thank you for your reply.

if there is no disc tab u cant install disc brake, although i knew there are disc adapter ard..
assuming ur fork and frame already have disc tabs, u need to get disc hubs for ur wheelset in order to mount the rotors
so in short:
fork/frame: to mount disc caliper
wheelset: to mount rotor
both essential for a disc brake system.. hydraulic or mechanical, tats another discussion altgt when u decide to go for disc brake
OR! to save all the trouble and still assuming ur fork and frame is disc ready! u can up ur brake budget to $250~ and get Avid BB7 mechanical disc calipers coupled with Avid SD7 brake levers, then hoot 2x centrelock rotorsl
ur bike will be trail worthy in days to come~
no problem~Thanks for answering all my queries,I really appreciate it!

buy a car/motorbike.. easily can x2 the speed..hello hello thanks for quick reply!
i don't think i will be going for competition. if i wanna get a hybrid . my MTB must be hard tail + will be still heavier in whatever way. which is a no-no for me in mtbiking. how ah? my MTB max speed is only 51km/h. i wanna go higher to maybe 70 , possible to do it with a road bike? advisable to get a road bike for a person like me?
