On the sheet that came with my 1x1 it says that this bike will make a 700c basher. Anyone figured out the brake configuration for this project?

Thanks

Your answer is Pauls MotoBMX V brakes. They have an adjustable height on the arm which allows you to use 700c wheels in a 26" frame.

Or if you have the newer frame, you can go the disc route.

Also, you could go brakeless fixie, or use a K-monkey fork up front. I think the rear might be able to clear a 29" tire in the rear, or at least get a good 35c crosser in there. As for the rear, should you go K-monkey fork on it, you can either use paul stuff (sweet) or hack some weird wacky works of your own on. Experiment.... it makes things interesting.
