Hi all
I am after a 700c brake adapter to convert from a 26” frame to 700c wheel.
Anybody no of any kits available, have googled but dosent seem to be any about.

Thanks
 
Re:

There's a few kits I've seen that extend the position of the pad for an existing v brake. Assuming you are using canti brakes?
 
No using v brakes cannot find the mavic kits as they are not made anymore. I don’t want to rebuild the wheels or move to 650c. Find it strange that no kits are widely available
 
I don't think kits were ever widely available, I do have one somewhere that I picked up a few years ago, and it's not the Mavic one. It's NOT for sale! But I'll try and dig it out to see what brand it is/where I got it ftom.
 
Re:

You could try a v brake that allows the pad to be moved along the post, like pauls, onza hola and others. I bought some pauls copies a while back that would work on 700c. I think they were made by prg.

That could work.
Paul's Motolite brakes will work too, not cheap though...

Was rummaging through bike stuff in the shed today so took a pic of the adapters I have. Seem to recall buying them from a shop in Holland (or was it Germany?) a couple of years ago, after a tip off on one of the bike forums.
