V-Brakes upgrade to Tern C7?

Hi,

As I want to improve breaks sys, thought to buy one of these calipers by Shiamano and Tektro (Dont care which one...the better one win(; ):

Anyone knows if:
1. The calipers will be fine with folding the bike?
2. They will fit to the frame with the fenders?
***Measured the hight of the factory calipers from Tern and they about 12.2-12.3 cm (4.8 inch)

Thanks!

I use these on my 20" folders and they work well. I think you should have no problems.
