    Have been using a shimano 600 caliper on my fuji track with the standard wheel for about 2 years, then i built up a new wheel with a H+son SL42 rim a while back but now the brake shoes wont adjust high enough to line up with the braking surface on the H+son so the i cant use the wheel..So im now looking at buying a Shimano 105 caliper but is there any chance that the brake shoes wont adjust high enough on this caliper too??

    Use a ruler/tape and measure the distance from the centre of the brake caliper Bolt to the center of the Wheel brake surface.

    thanks, was just reading on sheldonbrown.com and was about to go measure it..
    says on chainreaction the 105 has a 49mm drop, would that the maximum or minimum though??
