can u put disc brakes on a BMX?

Yes, it is possible, but no, it wouldn't be better. Heres why...

Disc brakes are used primarily where extreme stopping power in adverse conditions is needed. A BMX bike would never encounter these types of conditions.

Current BMX brakes are made so that the speed of the bike can be modulated carefully to reduce speed on a gradual but even level. This is why many people that get bikes with U brakes complain that they don't stop... they really aren't supposed to. Racing BMX bikes usually use V brakes which WILL stop pretty quickly but these types of bikes usually don't require precise brake control.


Are there 20" wheeled bikes with discs? Yes

yill never no???????????

yes and no, most bmx are not compatable so get a good bike fab shop to do it for you... you will need to weld onto the frame and get new wheels(hubs at least)
