I was wondering what it would cost to change my front V-brake to a disc brake.

So far I'm thinking:

New wheel (not worth changing the hub as the current wheel is only a cheapy)
Caliper
Disc
Pipes
Lever (including gearshift)

So what would that lot cost then? And would I get much improvement over the V-brake that I have?

Hayes on mine

Just idle curiosity really, that and I quite like the fact that on disc brakes, the rims don't turn silver Looks cooler Also makes less noise in the winter
