I have the tektro R559 on mine and it doesn't rub at all. I'm not sure in numbers how long it is.

balls just ordered the r539 and can't change the order so now have a pair of r539 and r559 on their way (with double next-day delivery charges :( ) will try both for size and return the loser I guess.

They may fit- the pads are all the way up top on mine.

R539 will be fine and work with it, Steamroller is designed to work with medium reach brakes which is 47-57mm long, it's what I had on mine.

In retrospect, the Shimano long reach brakes felt a bit better.
