Hello,

I have a Cannondale F500 hardtail bike (it's about 4 or 5 years old). It's still in great shape and instead of purchasing a new bike, I was wondering if I would be able to upgrade this bike to disk brakes? I'm planning on purchasing a new bike sometime next year. I emailed Cannondale but never got a response (that was about a week ago).

Thanks for the help.

Are there any disc mounts on the frame?

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not really sure what to look for.....

If this is your bike, then I dont' believe it has disc brake mounts on the stock frame and fork:

What you're looking for is a disc brake mount similar to what's depicted at #3 on this page:

And another set of disc brake mounts on the front left fork similar to what you see here:

Yep. That's my bike. Well, it looks like I'm going to have to upgrade sooner than I wanted. Just can't afford to buy a new bike right now.

Thanks for your help.
