dude you shoulda asked on here if it came with the disc ready hubs, it doesn't make sense to add an expensive part to a bike if your prolly not gonna use it...
anywho, you can just buy complete rims and hubs from ebay-izzle

Re: good stunt bike?
Yea yea, I was just responding to the guy that got one w/o disks. Someone mentioned that he could always toss a set on, but I was saying its alot more expensive than that.
Also, have you been to pricepoint.com? They have all sorts of **** at eBay prices but its a real store so no fear of getting ripped off.

Re: good stunt bike?
as for the disc, yea, it'll cost more, but I plan on upgrading the forks first, I plan on doing more jumps and trails, then after that I'll worry about the disc brakes, but honestly by then I'll probably have a different bike, this bike was just something cheap to see if I really wanted to spend the money on the high end stuff, and I think I've decide to go all out.

One kid here is 15 and on this massive hill he can roll a sitdown the whole way, then once hes got mad speed (at the bottom of the hill) get to 12'oc or beyond to slow it down. I've seen the kid get sooooo deep that the back tire lost traction and slid out, but his *** only fell like 6 inches to the ground.
This other kit has a BigHit and jumps of **** you cant even imagine.
Anyway...Once i get all that on tape ill load it up, but that wont be too soon.
