So...for clarification...

A 27" wheel is 630mm.
A 700c wheel is 622mm

8mm diameter difference. (5/16 of an inch)
4mm radial difference (or about a smidge over 1/8 of an inch)

So if I can drop my brake pads a smidge over 1/8 of an inch...I can make do this conversion easily.

Correct?
If you can drop your pads 4mm you are set.
