Both brakes offer a whopping 35mm of vertical pad adjustment, which the Henderson says is 30 percent more than other brakes. Perhaps this pad adjustment would allow you to run your dad’s 27″ wheels (bigger is better, right?), or if you’re really lucky, 650b wheels on some 700c bikes, if we did our math right (there’s a 19mm difference in radius from a 650b wheel to a 700c wheel, so if the pads are on the high side of the 35mm slot on a 700c wheel, you might be in luck, but don’t trust us, and YMMV).
Penultimate comment suggests 16mm up or down with these http://www.probikeshop.com/en/gb/elevn-technologies-brake-adaptors/103473.html
