where do i find a front wheel that has threads so i can use the brake disc conversion kit? or can i just get any rear wheel, remove the casette and use that as my front wheel for front disc brakes? is that even possible?
my fork is about 4" wide will that fit?That's what I was talking about. It should work if your forks are wide enough for the wheel. The curve shouldn't matter. The caliper should 'grab' in the same spot on the rotor.
I was a bit skeptical about 'quick release' wheels at first too. I replaced the rims on my Schwinn Jaguar with heavy double wall rims with disc brake hubs. They came with quick release axles. I've put a little over 800 miles on the bike since the wheel change without a single problem. I do check the release levers often but never found anything loose. They are on both front and rear.are the front disc wheels usually with quick release? can it just be the nut threaded one? i perfer that.
i always scared that my wheels would somehow unreleased themselves going at high speed then flip and die. lol. i always perfer threaded. just feel more safer.I was a bit skeptical about 'quick release' wheels at first too.

I am a firm supporter of forks with 'Lawyer Lips' however. Those are the little dishes and/or tabs that help prevent the wheel from coming out of the fork if the quick release or axle nuts get loose. A wheel would have to be very loose before it would fall off and hopefully before that you'd notice it and tighten things up.
