Most of the newer frames have the tabs so disk brakes can be installed, so depending on your bike you should be able to.Like Chris said, you'll need some disc mounts on your frame and fork. You also need hubs that are disc compatible and if you'll be using the rotors that are included with this set, you'll need hubs that accommodates center lock rotors. KC
