This is a very dirty Tektro 559 on a Chicago Schwinn Varsity stopping a 700c x 40mm rim and tire. You can see a lot of daylight above the tire so this might wrap around an even bigger tire.

Viperocco these dual pivot Tektro 559 brakes might work on your Giant Simple. They are not too expensive, have a nice quick release and work well. They use short travel brake levers. As you can see my fork limits my tire size but the brakes look to handle a lot more tire than I can mount.
