Do you have to get new tires if you are goint to add disk brakes to your Mountain Bike?How much would it cost?

I have a Trek 3700 with 26 inch whells and i want to add disk brakes. I just wanted to know about them. Can you please help me out?Do you have to get new tires if you are goint to add disk brakes to your Mountain Bike?How much would it cost?1) You need to have disk brake mounts welded to your bike, very expensive, and then you need to repaint the bike, because the welder burns the paint.



2) You need new wheels.



It will be very expensive, I don't know why you are worried about the tires. Yes, you can put the old tires on the new wheels. But you could buy 20 or 30 new tires for the amount you will pay to retrofit the bike.



Buy a new bike with disk brakes.Do you have to get new tires if you are goint to add disk brakes to your Mountain Bike?How much would it cost?chances are you won't be able to madd them because older bikes do not have disk brake mounts and if you can you will need to buy a new wheelset.Do you have to get new tires if you are goint to add disk brakes to your Mountain Bike?How much would it cost?Tires, no. The 3700 was not designed for disc brakes, so adding them will be expensive and complicated or impossible. It would be better to sell your old bike and buy a new one that has disc brakes. Even if your bike had the proper mounts for the brakes, it would cost around $200 minimum for the brakes.Do you have to get new tires if you are goint to add disk brakes to your Mountain Bike?How much would it cost?well you can buy an adaptor for the rear to add disk there and if possible you can add a front suspension that's made for disk breaks but that will cost Allot of money. you would be better off buying a new bike from a bike shop that has all that already
