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 | |

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.... | |
