I didn't know there are so many standards to check, I've been out of the cycling news for too long. I'll try to measure all the things you said but at this point the thing is becoming too complicated

Thanks, but actually that's the highest point, the rest of the trip was more or less flat around the lake

Yes I forgot to mention that my frame already has the placement for the disc brakes, but the wheel hasn't. About the rest, I sadly agree

Yes, doing the maths it's what I suspected

Good morning community. This is my first post here.

So this is my bicycle, from year about 2004 or something down there. I would like to make some improvement but it might be too pricey. I would like to put a more modern transmission: now it has a triple chainset 22, 32, 42 - as it was common back then - and a 8-speed rear cogset 11-30. I'd fancy a more recent thing and also a rear disk brake. So it means I should change the whole transmission, put a shorter freehub suitable for the disc, put the right spokes and so on. It's not urgent, but I'm thinking about it and I'm afraid of the cost of all these things.

Apart from that I'm having a really good time and I'm fond of this bicycle.

Sorry for my roughly translated technical words
