Hi, upgrading a lower end Merida mtb, and was upgrading the fork, and making the transition to disc breaks. Just wondering if the attached disc breaks are able to mount to this fork? Thanks, if not looking for just some cheap ones, are there any other options that would be able to mount to it? Thanks.

Yes that fork appears to have post mounts, and the disc brakes should attach with the correct size adaptors. Do your wheels accept disc brakes?

I went down this path a while ago and I think you may find you are better off buying a used bike than upgrading a low end one

Yes the wheels do, got a killer deal on them actually. Would they fit without an adaptor?


also yes, I’m trying to spend the least amount of money on this bike just to make it a bit better.

Depends on the rotor size being used.

Don't be too cheap with the brakes, they're the things that stop the bike, you want them work well and be reliable.
