Hey, "noob" here too. You and several people have pointed out I may have break issues. I looked at some disk break frames but there were either out of my price range or not to my liking.
Do you think this frame would take the other kind of breaks... caliper road breaks?
Also, does anyone know if there are road type caliper breaks with a deeper/higher arch profile that would allow for a mud guard to slide through underneath the calipers without effecting their ability to squeeze against the tire's rim as they should?
