My Orbit Helium was fitted with Tektro caliper brakes, is it possible to replace them with Campagnolo? The rest of the groupset is Veloace. I've noticed the brakes on my OCR-R (Mirage) are shorter reach, brake/tyre clearence is much less. So I think the brake arms need to be longer. According to Orbit site, brakes are "Dual Pivot Brakes 39-57mm deep drop"

    Campagnolo brakes are probably around 40-50mm. Sadly, they don't make long reach brakes like Shimano does. Wish they would!

    Shimano make some good ones. If you want European makes, Miche do one called the Performance.
