The Avid Ultimates really fit the bill for you minus the price. In general what you are looking for is a low profile brake. High profile brakes (think TRP) inherently trade braking power for rim clearance. So even some newer Avid Shorties would work for you. You can pretty easily get an in-line barrel adjuster so that you can adjust them as you need.

Thanks, Chris. I'll be looking only at low-profile brakes at the upcoming VeloSwap. I'd settle for another Shorty 4, but have never been wild about them, so hopefully I'll find a deal on something better. All I have to do now is figure out how to get through Sunday's race . . .

I'm really intrigued by the mini-V brakes lately. Might be another alternative.

You should definitely read the brake article in the latest issue of the mag.
