i need new front disc brake...

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

for a giant XTC. i got the bike second hand and the MPH front brake system had been stolen.

my local bike shop has just closed down this week!:( , so i tried looking on the internet for a new MPH system to match the rear brake, but no one seems to be selling them, plus i've heard the MPH series isn't that good any way.

so, if i buy another brand of disc brakes, will they fit the bike ie are disc brake fittings standard??

and any advise on what brand to go for?

cheers folks. i've already found some handy advise on here about brakes squealing :)
