This doesn't look very secure, can I trust these things? It's not even screwed to anything on the fork, it looks like the brake could wobble every time I remove the wheel even if I tighten the ring on top.
And will the adapter fit the fork?
Are there any other adapter I should look into? The fork does have one screw hole at the bottom.
I wouldn't.
I have enough trouble keeping my regular discs adjusted between wheel changes, no way these would stay put.
Why not just get some nice sticky salmon pads and some compression-less housing for the v-brakes? Then clean the rims with rubbing alcohol and a scotch Brite pad. That'd stop you.
Magura still makes hydraulic rim brakes if youust have them, but they're worth more than your bike.
