Thanks everyone for the answers!!!!
A friend of mine gave me the discs and the levers as a present....
I know this bike is a cheap one, and decided to buy it since it is my first one to go around.
As JiveTurkey said, they are flexing already.
Last week took a friends bike for a ride and it has discs equipped (Cannondale bad boy 9); I would love to have that bike, but right now I do not have the money to buy a bike like that; that is why I want to equip discs to mine.
Saw this adapter online, and would like to give it a try
www.a2zcomponents.com ; does it work for my fork?
If not, can you recommend any of Tektro calipers?
Thanks again!!

If you really want to go with discs, consider replacing the fork for one with disc tabs. Keep in mind that you'd need new wheels (or at least new disc-compatible hubs and new spokes laced to the existing rim).
