You need to measure your brake reach distance. That's the vertical distance from the brake caliper mounting hole to the braking surface of your rims. I think that Shimano long reach calipers are rated for 47 - 57 mm. That's roughly 2 inches. My guess is that you're going to need more reach than that.
