Rear disc!!

MattFell

Hi all, I have a Voodoo Bantu which i bought a few years ago and I've just got back into riding, doing a bit of everything and just bought some nice Marzocchi bomber Z1's off good old ebay, they have a disc mount, and i was thinking after a rather frightening dowhill section of my local trails where over shot a corner and came face to face with a cliff, i needed to sort my brakes, now i know the front is the most important one and i can have one up front but the rear of my frame does not have a mount for one! So is there somewhere i can get one from or is it not worth it? I have 'V' Brakes at the mo.

Cheers

the Voodoo will be a fair old frame. they were good. are your wheels disc ready?

it could be better to look at getting a new bike if you are going to have to get a lot of new things.

NO i havent got disc ready wheels, wanted to find out if it was worth doing 1st, i don't think i can afford a new bike, the voodoo cost me œ1000 when i bought it in, 2000 ( i think maybe older!! wow that is quite old ain't it)
Thanks for your help

i was guessing at 1999 as i think halfords stopped selling them in 2000.

just another point what year Z1 did you pick up?
