I'm thinking about putting 26 inch wheels on an older 27 frame for a few reasons, mostly novel; of course, the brakes will present a problem.
I'm thinking a neat intro to velo-brazing might be to throw canti posts on the forks and the seat stays. If the frame's not particularly light weight and in good condition, should I worry about changing the brake loads on the seat stays and the forks, or do bikes with canti's have beefed up seatstays and fork blades?
