I show the process of converting from V-Brakes to Disc Brakes on a mountain bike.
I bought this Specialized Rockhopper Comp a few years ago. It was in rough shape, but it had promise. What I liked about it was the frame & forks and had disc brake mounts, and the wheels were set up to mount disc brake rotors. It was screaming for this upgrade. I finally got around to doing it. The disc brake calipers I installed were Avid BB5's. The rotors were 160mm.

Some people have asked me about the locking adjustable wrench I used in the video. The wrench is made by Craftsman:

Though there are other brands.
