the hybrid's frame has disk mounts, but it's forks don't. anyways, I'm fine with v-brakes on a street bike, I'd as soon leave the hydraulics on the stumpie. I'd just get some seperate flatbar longpull brake levers for the hybrid

also the stumpie doesn't have canti/vbrake bosses.

planning to eventually replace the wheels on my hybrid, deore-or-so hubs, 36H in the rear at least, and Dyad or similar rims.


nah, its probably simpler to leave the stumpie alone (and sell it) and just score some 9-speed shifters and derailleurs if I did this, I realize that. my crank is already 9-speed compatible, my front derailleur is tourney grade junk which I wanna replace anyways.
