I have been running the Shimano CX70 brakes on my Hunqapillar. These brakes definitely clear the front fork when opened wide, no problems there. Set-up was easy, but I have to run the brake pads really close to the rims to get good stopping power. I used barrel adjusters to dial in the pad-rim distance into perfection, but whenever attempting to remove a wheel, I could not get the brake straddle wire to release without undoing the barrel adjusters. This is not a huge problem, but nonetheless it is not ideal.
A few nights ago, I took the CX70s off the bike and put on some Paul MiniMoto linear pull brakes. I haven't had a chance to ride them yet, but the set-up was easy. With those brakes, it seems that the maximum tire width would be around 42-45 mm, since the connecting wire runs close to the tire and these brakes do not clear the front fork when open.
