Wrenching my latest build reminded me of this discussion. Here we see the normal reach brakes used with a brake pad reach extender so that they reach the brake surface track of a ETRTO349 16" wheel.
Litepro brake extender block, $4/pair
Based on actual riding experience with this precise setup, I have no hesitation in recommending it. Braking power and modulation remain excellent, non-issues with my 71kg carcass.
