Not really... I thought about it, but disc brakes add weight over V-Brakes (and I would have to change wheel too, and I've good and light wheels now). My v-brakes works great for me so... For my "project", it seems disc brake systems isn't a improvement.

And, I think is easier to mount/dismount front wheel with V-Brakes than with disc brake (not sure about it), and that is important to me (I need to dismount front wheel to transport my bike in the car).

Anyway, do you think disc brake in the front would be and improvement? Really interested in your opinions!!!
