here are more info on the set up (sorry, i should have posted it in the original post)

bike is TREK T900 (i know, i know...why did i do the swap on such a bike. well, i just need to find out so i know what my next tandem will be.)
levers are shimano 105 STI
rear brake is AVID BB7 road with 203mm rotor (no need for any Travel Agents here)
front brake is AVID SD5 (here is where i don't have enough cable pull)
i forgot to consider the canti option, and i don't have the cable hangers anyway.

i think i'm now more inclined to go with the SD5 + TA set-up.
i can easily switch tires without worrying about clearance.

thanks again.
