if a bike has cable disks, is it possible to upgrade to hydraulics?
ive got £300 or less to spend on a full sus mtb. any ideas apart from the deacathlon rockrider 6.3?
Any recommendations for lights for MTBing at the cheaper end of the scale?

My disk rotor doesn't sit in the center of my new front disk brake. Anyone got any knowledge for aligning disc rotors inside the calipers, apart from get a washer and file it down to the right depth.
That caliper is designed to bolt straight on to International Standard fork caliper tabs, but needs an adapter to mount on Post Mount caliper tabs.I think the Rebas have Post Mount caliper tabs (check online for your exact model) so I think you'll need an adapter.Didn't the caliper come with an adaptor?
It's not possible to attach post mount calipers to IS mounts (and vice versa) - you'd end up with the caliper at ninety degrees to where it needs to be. If the screws attaching your caliper to the fork screw in in a forwards direction (in line with your frame), you have post mount. To adjust them, you need to slacken the screws off and then you'll be able to slide the caliper from side to side. Newer shimano brakes use this system.I'm pretty sure that 2006 shimano, and pre-2009 rockshox use IS mounts (if the screws go in sideways). In this case, you'll need washers to space out the caliper. You can buy washers pretty cheaply from CRC or an LBS.
