Disc Brakes...

Hello, I am thinking of putting my new engine into this bike>

Giant Bicycles - Tran Send LX (2008)

But I dont know if I could since it has disc brake F & B. Do you think it will work?
I say thanks in advance :]

You have a couple options.

1. You could get the sickbikeparts shifter kit and keep your rear disc brake.

2. King's Sales & Service can make you a left-side sprocket that bolts to your disc brake mount. No sandwiching the spokes, but you lose your disc brake in the back.

Ok, hmm i'm new to this stuff so....
Could I get a link to both of them?

Both are sponsers of this site look to the bar on the left of this page both are located there

Ok, thanks. One last question. But if I remove the back brake can't I just install the stock sproket on there with no issues, or do I have to go with one of those two options?

you should be able to install the stock sprocket on there no problems I think.

If you don't go with a shifter kit, I would highly recommend putting some type of brake on the back. Front only is baaaad.

ok, so if i remove the disk brake on the back and leave the one in the front BUT put a V brake on the back that'll work. No need for the left sided sprocket or the shifter kit.

Well the stock sprocket is a left-side sprocket

it's just King's will give you a sprocket that mounts to the disc brake mount instead of attaching via sandwiching the spokes.

And yeah, I think a V brake would be just dandy on the rear. Never had disc brakes, but the V brakes are my fav out of the rest.

Ok, cause I wanted to use one with disc brakes cause I have heard that using v brakes with a motor with run the brakes down really fast. If they don't really run down like they day they do, might as well just use a bike with F & R v brakes.

The brakes being worn down quickly is due to stopping from higher speeds. I don't think it's anything about V brakes in particular.

Disc brakes will be safer because you will have more stopping power. Something you're going to want when doing 25-30mph.
