>>>What are the lengths or reach of brakes when one set is considered "normal (long)" reach and another considered "short" reach? Are there some specific dimensions of reach before one considers something normal or short?<<<

Tom -

Calipers vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so there is no "standard" measurement for the two types. However, "short" reach calipers generally measure to about 49 cm and "long" reach calipers go to about +/- 56 cm.
