That's more helpful information.
Going to 26 inch wheels now sounds like a dumb idea. The cost of going with calipers sound like a large expense. I should really just embrace my ride for awhile before I start talking about mods I can do.
Thanks again guys

My Bad Boy Ultras were designed to run both skinny 700c and MTB 26" wheels. 26" wheels will probably be lighter,but your gearing will also be reduced. Really no good reason to swap wheels unless you already have a 26" set laying around and want to play around with the bike.
If your brakes are noisy,try cleaning the rotors. You can use brake cleaning fluid or anything that doesn't leave residue.
