Just picked up a little used 06 Hardrock, how difficult is it to put on disk brakes? Will I have to get new wheels or is there a bolt on type kit. Id like to stick w/ Shimano if possible. Any help would be awsome. looking to do this as a winter project.

Thanks

You will need disk tabs on the frame and fork and disk specific hubs.

Thanks so much. Got the tabs not sure about the hubs.You will need disk tabs on the frame and fork and disk specific hubs.

A disk compatbile hub will normally have a flange with 6 holes drilled into it for the rotor to screw onto.
