How To Convert To Disc Brakes From V-Brakes On Mountain Bike @RJTheBikeGuy

Uploaded June 2017 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

I show how to upgrade an old mountain bike from V-brakes to disc brakes. I replace the wheels, install rotors, calipers, new cables/housings, and adjust everything. The disc brakes I used are Avid BB5's. I used 160mm rotors. They are mechanical disc brakes, so are cable actuated. The Avid CPS mounting brackets I used were 0mm IS for the front, and a 20mm IS for the rear.

$I Crashed My Bike And Broke My Back I was shooting footage for a video and made a stupid mistake. I crashed my bike, and fractured three vertebrae (T3, T4, T5). One of the doctors said that if I wasnt wearing a helmet, I would probably be dead. There is no surgery needed, but it will take 6-8 weeks to recover. Currently taking lots of ibuprofen and wearing a back brace to limit movement. Ride & crash video shot with a chest mounted GoPro Hero 4. And a BIG thank you to the stranger who stopped for me!!! ▶ SUBSCRIBE & HIT THE 🔔 http://bit.ly/SubRJTheBikeGuy 👍 And please give my video a thumbs up 👍 ▶FACEBOOK.com/RJTheBikeGuy https://www.facebook.com/RJTheBikeGuy ▶TOOLS http://www.rjthebikeguy.com/tools ▶SHIRTS http://bit.ly/RJBikeGuyShirts ▶WEBPAGE http://www.RJTheBikeGuy.com$
