When you say get discs for your bike, do you mean replacing your discs? Or are you wanting to fit disc brakes?

Once again wanting to change gears? What is the set up you have already on the bike. Please let us have more information.

At 1st glance at the spec, you will need new hubs/wheels to fit disc brakes.This cost alone is not worth upgrading, better to save your money and keep a eye out for something secondhand with the upgrades you are looking at
