Thanks everyone for the comments! I believe I will stick with the rim brakes. They main person I ride with has disc brakes, and he thinks a lot of them. Considering how I got a basically new bike valued at $440 for $150 I thought I would look into the possibility and cot of converting it. I think my next bike I will just make sure already has disc brakes! I dont plan to ride in the rain much anyway so these rim brakes should suit me well.
