Hey Lightyear, welcome to the forums.
What kind of brakes are they? If they're Avid or Hayes, get them if they're Pro-Max or some other generic, you'll hate them!
The thing about discs, is that they are the "must have" item. As a result a lot of company's buyers are installing them on bikes with sub-par discs. You'd be better off with a decent pair of linear pull (vee) brakes than cheap mechanical discs.
