It does not matter if you extend the brake arm by using a long reach brake or a dropped pad, the mechanical advantage will be the same. The only option I see is (if you want to retain the short reach caliper braking power) is to mount it a bit lower and use standard pads.

I crashed in The Traders Cup with no real injuries. Rob Fowl crashed in Lucan GP resulting in broken ribs. Our great SLovakian hope (yes he is Slovakian) crashed last week while trainng for Stamullen GP and broke his hip and collarbone. His missus has declared he wont race again...ever! The other got an open licence instead of a IVCA licence. All going according to plan...NOT!
