Hello,
I have a 2012 Diamondback overdrive 29er hardtail with the medium frame 18". The first thing that needs upgrading i the brakes, it has the weakest mechanical disc breaks ive ever witnessed and the rotors are tiny. I was wondering if there are any good mehanical caliper/rotor combos that i can get both front and rear for under 200$, preferably with larger rotors so my bike will have substantial stopping power. I assume if i get mechanical brakes i dont need new levers. Also, if i get larger rotors than my current ones, will the caliper still mount up on my forks fine or will i need a seperate mounting kit or will it all for correctly?
Thanks,
Nikkolas
