Is there such a thing as a 'long armed brake' in Ultegra to fit an Audax fork?

Thx.

    the BRR 600, but apparently it i not available in the UK... try tektro, they're perfectly compatible

    The Shimano R650 is the ultegra level deep drop brake - have them on my audax bike, and they work perfectly. Off the top of my head, they are around £40-45 for each one.

    I've got the cheaper Shimano R450s on my Racelight Tk. Jolly effective despite the all-in-one pads.

    The R650s have the metal holders for cartridge type pads, so I expect they are even better.

    Thank you for the replies.

    I have, at last, managed to successfully fit the full SKS guards and achieve clearance, on the original Bontrager Race forks.

    The Kinesis DC07 forks required the longer reach brakes.

    It was a lot of work though with some precise 'Dremmelling' involved.
