hi, i bought the base model hardrock last week because i wanted it in yellow. im looking to install a front brake setup because the current setup uses pads only. what does everybody recommend that i get, i was looking at the avid bb7, any body have experience with them? my shop said that i need a new front rim too. what are your recommendations? thank you for your time and enjoy riding out there this weekend wherever you are.

Pretty much new rims that is Disc compliant, and a Disc brake set. thats about it.

Well, technically, what you need to change is the hub, not the rim. It might be cheaper buying a new wheelset, or just the front wheel. Besides the brakes, if you go for the BB7, you will probably need to replace cabling.

Excellent, now I know. It wouldve been a great project for me but I returned the base hardrock and upgraded it for the hardrock disc in neon green. I really liked the yellow but it was a sacrifice that I had to take. Thanks for the help guys!

That was probably your best bet
