Thats what makes the world go round.
Tektro has a realllly long reach side pull,http://www.tektro.com/_english/01_pr...e&sort=2&fid=9
But if you want to use centerpulls as pictured you may might want to look at these extra long reach Dia-compe's http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/brake-calipers.html (they'll probably flex and might be noisy) or you could make some drop bolts ala Sheldon's design if you can't find anyone who still has a few laying around'

You might wind up having to cut the canti bosses off if they interfere with the calipers.
