I am toying with upgrading my Carrera Vulcan after christmas with a set of Hydraulic disc brakes. I can see the kits you can buy (levers, rotor and caliper) and they are quite resonably priced.

How does the rotor attach to the wheel, is there a standard fitting on hubs (i assume it fits there) or do I need to buy a new hub (in which case I would hold off a bit longer).

    You will need specific hubs that have fittings for rotors.

    Also - I haven't checked whether your frame does or not, but that will need to have the appropriate fittings to mount the calipers as well

    Yeah my frame does have the fittings for the calipers on it
