If you want new wheels for your existing bike, they need to be compatible with the brakes on your existing bike.
If you have a rim brake bike and want to go disc brakes, you need to get a whole new bike.
My bike frame is already set up for disc brakes. In 2008, Specialized made them both ways, Disc and rim. All I need are the hubs to bolt them to..... and calipers and master cylinders. All available in a kit. The mounting points are already on the fork and stay..New wheels will have them
