Getting back to the original question... What specific reach, in millimeters, do you need? Brakes come in a lot more sizing variations than "standard" and "long" reach. And do you need nutted or recessed mounting? Sheldon Brown's site describes and illustrates the difference

the Tektro dual pivots that fit your application will be a marked improvement.
