i am trying to find more info on a front end disk break that i want on my next build. but can not find a whole lot on YouTube that is any help to me. i am building another beach cruiser setup but do i have to buy a complete new wheel for the front for it..and i saw something with a set that had a whole new hub with it where you have to take all the spokes out and replace the whole hub. that is way to much work and cost....is there a universal setup that i can attach to my front wheel...the fork i am getting has a disk break setup attached to it.
 
If your new fork will already have a mount for the caliper; all you have to do is find a front mountain bike wheel with a disc brake hub & buy separate caliper / disc combo!

eBay is a great place to find these parts.

Although disc and disk are the same word; break and brake are two different words. Having a brake on your front wheel is a good thing. If you have a break in your wheel that would be bad.

26 X 2.125 is a tire size NOT a rim size! (that's why you can't find any for sale).
Any 26" rim will work perfectly for that tire.
