Forgive me if you've already done so, but have you set up your current brake and seen if it fits then, rather than just having it 'loose'? You should gain a couple mm clearance under a dual caliper with it being cabled up by virtue of the way the arms move when they engage?

This inspired me to see if my single pivot caliper had more or less clearance depending on how open it was. Turns out it has more if it's open, so i've set it up quite wide and that seems to have worked. The gap is worryingly tight though, so my next question is: how tight is too tight? 1mm okay? Rizla paper okay?

Cheers, some interesting options. Wanting to keep the original fork and (hard to tell just by looking) not sure that the Tririg would be slender enough even on the lowest setting.
Beginning to think that a 20mm tyre is the way forward. Or a clamp-on brake.
Or a single pivot 105 with the underside destroyed by bad filing.
