I have a Claude Butler Dalesman that has Tektro Oryx cantilever brakes on it. I go through pads like they're made from licquorice, and they're a swine to adjust. My Orbea MTB has hydraulic disks front and back, and they have immense stopping power that the Oryx lack, and having had a couple of fully-loaded-buttock-clenching-not-being-able-to-stop incidents on the tourer, I wondered how easily the forks and frame could be modified to accept disks.
The one advantage is that the CB came with wheels that have a splined hub that will accept discs.
Comments, and likely costs anyone ? Ta.
