Yes
On a rigid ridgeback, good ground clearance but only sufficient tyre clearance for cyclo x tyres. Fitted dual pivot road bike brakes as the canti posts were now in the wrong place.
Only really worth trying with disc brakes as only thing to worry about is wheel diameter clearance.
Off road fixed gear riding would be a potential use due to the b/b clearance.
Try it for a laugh but dont expect it to work well if even at all !
Cheers

Hi, Ive got 700c built on Hope disc hubs on an Orange Evo2 frame. Goes like stink and stops dead. I'm going to do the same with a Fisher Sugar frame - the potholes about here are horrendous.

I'll try next week - posting pics is not my forte. It got me into a pickle before when I posted someone elses pics somehow by mistake!?!?
I'll try PMing you later.
Cheers.
