Anyone ever convert a bike (26" wheel cruiser-ish) from v-brakes to caliper/sidepull/linear pull type using the fender mounts? It should be doable, I'm mostly stuck on the fact that finding brakes with a long enough reach is difficult. What brakes did you use?

The reach looks like it needs to be 101 mm (unfortunately the pair of tektro R559's I picked up for $8 have a max in the 80 mm range).

I wanted the tektro "cruiser caliper" ones, which looked very sturdy but it seems like they aren't made any more so finding the front on in stock anywhere is basically impossible (unless I want to pay $30 each and whether they would ship is questionable).
