I converted my Haluzak SWB recumbent from 559 to 584 simply by moving the pads out to the most extreme setting on the Shimano DeOre LX V-brake. Works fine. I did this conversion in order to get the same nice fat and wide tires that I have on my Bleriot - Velocity Synergy asym rims and Panaracer col de la Vie. I recently upgraded to the Fatty Rumpkins I couldn't get to fit the Bleriot under Homjos. Very satisfied with the ride and also get a little bump up on speed at a given cadence.
