I kind of expect that with any less aggressive tire. I would imagine the Avon's I am looking at would be even worse at locking the brakes than the 700's. Just kind of the way of things.
In other news, I went ahead and ordered one of these guys.

The irony of spending more on the adapter than I paid for the carburetor. is not lost on me. Admittedly, I didn't actually pay for the carburetor directly, but it is still funny.
I had the option between that and a slightly bigger unit designed for up to 34mm carbs. This one is a bit smaller with the inlet size reduced to 28mm, but the mounting flange options mean I can either try it on the stock intake, or directly to the head, plus I can always machine out the center to 30mm. This one also works with the carb I currently have without needing to buy a reducer/adapter.
