Contango- It's doubtful that your frame has the needed distance between the rim and a caliper moung hole, or if your frame has said holes to begin with. Even if your frame had a brake bridge and crown with the correct holes to mount the calipers being a bike made for large profile tires and mud build up the length of the calipers' arms would be very long. This would reduce their leverage by a lot.

There are cantis with easy adjustments and those with more finiky methods. Practice, practice, practice. Andy.
