fitting 26" wheels to 650c forks ?

freddie_fandango · 2005-04-09T10:56:10+00:00

Hi Folks, I've got an option on a cheap 650c carbon road fork. I want to use it on my MTB/Road bike but with the standard 26" MTB wheels. Can I get a brake caliper that will fit the 650c fork and reach the 26" rims ok? I was told there are 47mm and 57mm drop road calipers, would a 57mm do the job? TIA Carlos
