Help with disc brake upgrade?

Looking to upgrade cannondale expert disc brakes on bad boy ultra. I've replaced the pads, fine tuned the brakes, etc., but these brakes are just no longer adequate. (I've noticed cannondale did away with these brakes 2 years ago -- not surprising.) Problem is, rotors and hubs -- on two sets of wheels -- are 4-bolt pattern. Trying to avoid spending more $$ on a wheelset. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I have no advice... I just wanted to comment on your bike; how do you like it? I just bought a Cannondale BadBoy Disc as an off-season bike, since my R700 doesn't much like sand, salt, snow, etc. and have only ridden it a few times (love it so far).

Will watch the thread for info b/c I know next to nothing about disc brakes (on bikes)!

astroluc, i've loved the bad boy as an all around bike, on and off road for the last 4 years. i take extra care of it probably because even after all this time and many miles, the things still looks sooo slick. gotta be the bbq paint scheme. i also have an r2000 -- bout 3 years -- and a built-from-scratch synapse which i've noodled down to 15lbs. yet i love riding the bad boy around locally. it gets the most compliments.

thanks for the reply; I love my badboy too... I am a roadie at heart so this bike (with some cyclocross knobbys) is the best 'off season' bike I've ridden. MTBs always felt like pedaling a tank!

have a bump for your thread!
