I'm converting a MTB (built for 26" wheels) to 650b wheels. I've read that the conversion can work smoothly and that there are some fairly highly adjustable canti breaks out there which will line up with the larger wheel. The best article I've read on this is here:

Anyway, the Tektro 720's mentioned in the article aren't working for me at all. I'm using some old dia comp breaks that are passable, but I know I can find better.
Should I spend the money on Avid Tri-Align brakes, or something similar? I know Onza made similar breaks, does anyone have experience with any other canti's like these? Can you move the pads up pretty high, and if you do does it compromise break power?
Any advice for something more modern I should try?
Thanks!
(And please keep negative opinions about this conversion to yourself... I'm not interested
)
