What's the price for a Specialized Hardrock Sport ??



And what are the disadvantages of disc brakes ?? I know that you have to replace the pads about 3 times a year

You could probably pick one up for around $500.

Disadvantages of disc brakes... I'm not sure about the pads. Depends what kind of biking you do. I race XC, and I have made it about a full season with my pads...

They are heavier than v-brakes
The discs can warp if you look at them funny
They require much more skill and knowledge to work on
They are more expensive
If something goes wrong on the trail, you can't pull out a new cable.
Mechanical discs are not really great except high end ones with upgraded levers for trials and downhill - not great for xc.

there are a few... There are many advantages, but you've got them already...

good luck Source(s): work in a bike shop
I could Google the answer in a minute... but why don't you?
