I have orderd a set of juicy 7 brakes for my hardrock sport but my wheels don't have any holes for the disc but my frame has holes for the calipers. What's needed for me to fit this? New wheels or is it best for me to sell it on again and cut my losses.

lets see a picture of the wheels.
or make model and year of the bike?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

if 2009 then? then new wheels would be needed."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

gutted, i refrained from buying a new bike as this one had only done 100 miles and i only hated the brakes. im so annoyed with myself, i saw the bolt holes on the frame and assumed i would have matching wheels. :oops:
oh well onto ebay they go now

50 for some wheels but you will need to get splined rotors

not worth it."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

On One have splined rotors for £4.99 each, so at around £60 all in it's a reasonable option.
You will probably also need an IS to post adapter, at least for the back.
New hubs and a wheel rebuild will cost that or more.I don't do smileys.

The £4.99 rotors are organic pads only. Dunno what difference it makes. I'm running sintered and they seemed fine, but I've only been out with them once.0 -

they are fine. it is a common trick to use sintered to shut the OE set up up."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

@chedabob - I think all Shimano rotors say that.
After my experiment with organic this summer (fine until a few wet trips down Whites, which totally trashed them) I've gone back to sintered. Even if the rotors wear a little quicker (and I think most makes are made of the same stuff anyway) they are cheaper than pads.I don't do smileys.
