I have a frame built for 27" wheels but need to fit 700c wheels. This makes the caliper drop 65mm :shock:
There's plenty of so called 'deep drop' calipers but they all seem to have a max drop of 57mm. The only calipers I can find which cover a drop of 55-73mm are Tektro or Alhonga which look a bit cheap :|
I've also seen extension pieces used on the rear bridge although I don't know what happens on the front fork?
Does anyone know if these extension pieces are available anywhere to buy or have any other options for 65mm drop calipers?

I found an old pair of CLB calipers and they have the perfect drop!
