Is it possible to install hydrolic disk brakes on the back tire of a 2006 Norco Wolverine? What would it cost?

Question

Im tyring to buy a bike and there is a good deal on a noroc wolverine. There are disk brakes on the fornt but not the back. I want disk brakes on the back. How much would it cost to do so?

Answer 1

On that bike you don't need rear discs.

If you rely on your rear brake for stopping it is important that you improve your technique first... rear brake to control speed, front brake to stop. Rear brake for handling, front brake to stop.

70% of your braking should be done with the FRONT brake.

Answer 2

about $100-200 for the brakes. assuming that your frame and hubs are disc compatible, it shouldn't be much more for labor. I'd assume an '06 Wolverine is disc compatible, but you never know with the hubs. if your hubs aren't disc compatible, you're looking at rebuilding, or replacing your wheels. that will significantly increase the cost!
