More on brakes: The Tektro R539 will work fine at 47-57, this is the same reach range as the original brakes. I'm using its predecessor R536 at the front of my 710s. I find they do require a bit more room below them (ie between the brake and tire) because they're a bit thicker vertically so I run the old brake at the rear. If you mount them and are tight on clearance, make sure the arm balance screw is backed out as far as possible.
