im looking at popping some 700c wheels in my old MTB frame to make a speedy commuter and hitting the 18mile each way route to work on a regular basis.

has anyone got any deep drop road calipers going spare anywhere, even if i can borrow them just for a couple of days to check this is possible

Steve. Chech the width between your dropouts. Mtb are 135mm and road hubs are 130mm across. Might be ok on an older frame.

there is the 5mm difference dave, but a quick stamp on the rear triangle will soon sort that out dave.

Brakes are the real challenge....
