"24 inch wheels? Help Needed!!!"
I own a Nuke Proof Stealth Mountain Bike with a '98 Marzocchi Jr T on it. The front fork has a disc mount but the rear of the frame doesn't. Is it possible to put a 24 inch wheel on the back and still use a v-brake? If so, how do i go about doing it? Special adjustments, adapters? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Jeff

You could run a 24in wheel with a v-brake but u would have to make an adapter, cause I don't think anyone sells them.
You would have to make a booster type arc and attach it to your v-brake mounts then get some v brake mounts from your fork for example and screw them on to the adapter. (See picture)

I, however, recommmend you just getting a rear disc brake and using an adapter which attaches to a brake mount.
