Hi guys just looking for some advice and product knowledge
I have an orbea mountain bike no idea the age or what the specific model is but I am thinking of changing to hydraulic brakes, but I have integrated brake and shifter levers. I am just looking on how to change to hydraulic brakes and turn the brake and shifter into single levers and what parts I would need.

Many thanks
Scott

    Brakes (calliper and lever combined) plus a new seperate shifter pair, new gear cables is probably advise able as well.

    I assumed he had mechanical discs.

    And he could fit hydraulic rim brakes!

    Hmm I see nothing in that post to indicate rim or cable disc brakes

    Brifters generally mean cables.
