While commuting to work(in Olympia, WA) a few Summers ago, I chatted with a guy who rode out from a homeless camp on an 80's road bike which had a pair of 26" mountain bike wheels retrofitted. For braking, he had removed the pads & the calipers just clamped down on the sidewall of the tires. I asked him how well they stopped?? He said "OK if you keep the speed down". (This wasn't a great solution but at least someone has put MB wheels on a road bike).
