Disc brakes and wire wheels

Will Disc Brakes work with old school wheels like these? I can't post a picture yet.

I don't see why you can't post a picture as you have 20 posts which is twice the number needed to be able to post pictures.

When I posted this thread I didn't have 20 post. I will get the picture now.

Most of the time, clearance for the caliper is the issue. That inner flange on the pic seems awfully tight. More research may be warranted before dropping that much money.

It seems like simple math. Take the radius from the center of the bearing hub to the outer most edge of the brake caliper and compare it to one half of the inside diameter of the wheel. If that measurement is larger than the first measurement chances are they will fit and work together.
