I have seen some higher quality caliper brakes from Shimano, or SRAM and was wondering if they would fit on a Schwinn Legacy cruiser? I know the reach for the rear tire is extremely long distance from the centerbolt mount to the rim of tire. I can't tell if these nicer looking caliper brakes will work, for instance these ones:

http://www.amazon.com/SRAM-Apex-Bra...=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1331786388&sr=1-5
Not sure if this has a center bolt that would work on my cruiser. I know some of these caliper brakes have sunken mounting bolt, which I assume won't mount on the simple pre-drilled holes on the fork of my cruiser for brake mounting.
I previously had the Odyssey 1999 BMX caliper brake and it snapped in half after a couple months of riding.
