What he doesn't say is that you are literally doubling the pivot to pad distance while keeping the original pivot to cable stop distance. Switching to road levers might get back enough mechanical advantage to make it work tolerably.

For a MTB a friend thinking to build up with 700C wheels I'm looking for a solutions for the brakes. The canti's or V-brakes don't reach the rim.
That's why I am asking there. On internet I found a solution from Mavic, but it's not made anymore.
There are also some other adapters, but they require for the brake bosses/pivot point to be with threads, his are fixed.
One day someone gave me a photo of a great technique but I can not find it anymore ...
