According to Velobase these are long reach brakes that cover 47-57 mm. I'm about to use the exact same setup on the Team USA. Converting it from 27" rims to 700c and these calipers cover the change just fine. Beautiful brakes and levers for sure and you've already taken care of the new pads. My setup is mint but without hoods but I did just order the Soma ones. I'll need to swap out the original brake pads I suspect and will probably do what you did. This is an awesome deal for someone.
