yeah, some, although they're not that common. didn't really consider that to be honest, just assumed that fitting either was an option
So there are forks out there with fittings for both V-brakes and calliper brakes?
that's very much a 'depends' - without seeing the bike it's hard to say, and there's the drop to the rim as well as the clearance around the guard to consider. Suck it and see, I say: unscrew the mini vs but keep the cable plugged in, ziptie or tape them to the bars and then try fitting the callipers. If they fit then you can re-cable, you can always file away a bit of the guard if the drop to the rim is okay. If they don't it's just a case of screwing the Vs back in, and looking for some long-drops...
