What kind of bike do you have? You need a disc brake mount on the frame. 
and on your hubyojimborace said:What kind of bike do you have? You need a disc brake mount on the frame.
i already knew about the hub and i can get one that is compatable and i knew that there is somethian about the fram but i dont know what to look for (i ride a mongoose xr 200 if this helps answer the question) it came with one on the front and this is y im asking about the rear
Does your frame have tabs on the left seatstay to bolt the brake caliper to?
i think so
Go to a bicycle shop and look carefully at how a rear disk brake caliper attaches to a frame.
Then go back and stare thoughtfully at your Mongoose.

naw dawg, I meant: doesn't look good for rear disc brake compatibility.
No, it doesn't look good for compatibillity. But the front brake matters more than the rear brake does at least. 
sorry im use to people making fun of my rides beacuse i cant spend thousands of dollers on them
Turning pedals is what counts. Ignore the equipment snobs and enjoy yourself.

Yeah, people always get judged by their bikes. I think thats stupid, because just because you have a good bike, doesn't mean you can ride better than other people. Like John said, it's about riding your bike.
