You can drill out the frame easy enough, if you're not squeamish.

Spa Cycles know their business. I'd ring and ask - better assurance than posters on here.

Still worth an 'ask' here though.

I found some "traditional-fitting" ones from Tektro a couple of years ago. If I can find details, I'll add them here.

Yep. R359.

R559 ring a bell for long reach ?

This from Diacompe? I got some for my R20. They are miles better than the stock brakes, but still not that great compared to the discs on everything else.

I fitted a shiny shiny pair of those to my old Peugeot which is a 700c frame, so on an old 27" frame fitted with 700c wheels they'd work very wel. They also work perfectly with the old Weinman brake levers fitted suicide extensions. Very powerful powerful braking.

I did need to use V-brake blocks though to get the correct alignment on the rim.

[QUOTE 5188376, member: 43827"]I'm replacing 27" wheels with 700c. These look just the job [/QUOTE]

Yes they will, nuts and a big big drop !

Here is the rear on my old Pug (when I was building things up)...

It's easy to drill out the back of the fork to 8mm to take a sleeve nut (note you only need to drill out the back) but I wouldn't drill out the rear bridge, what you do is use a 2nd front caliper on the back. The bolt is then long enough to get a 'nylock' nut on.

You can get an aftermarket bolt for Tektro and Shimano (possibly others) to use on older forks etc...

Here's one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tektro-B...416260?hash=item2cc8341044:g:EA8AAOSwysRaos4V
