hi I managed to get the back wheel done and its running something like a band brake but works more like a car's drum brake. The front I will try the caliper and it should fit. If it doesn't, I would probably get a 700 c fork for disk mounts or a MTB fork with disc and V mounts. What would lowering the front fork affect bearing in mind that the rear has already been lowered to a 26 1.5 mtb rim with a drum brake? thanks for all the advice. 'Frankenbike' it is
