brake question
Building a mutt.....ok I'm on a very low low low low budget. I have this old Cro-Moly Mtn Bike frame with good componatry(well...for its age anyway). Except for the wheels....they are totally shot.....well I have a set of 29 inch wheel from a beat up old road bike. They actually fit pertectly and I actually have 1 inch of clearence. Just one problem though. My old canty break can't reach....can the canty mounts be grinded off and relocated a little higher or arfe they mounted inside of the frame?...I am after more milage for my riding effort....I'm fat and trying to get fit. Disk brake kits are out of my price range. How about some help here huh? Are there any taller canty levers?

I think your best bet would be to find a huffy-roadmaster-pacific mt bike with useable 26" wheels. I bet you can pick one up for $10 bucks at a garage sale.
