  Those are perfect Brian as they are standard dura-type road sized pads .

Yes ! I do this with smooth post canti pads.  I never ever ever found 
any benefit to the long pads when they became a thing in the 90's. The 
Suntour XC Pro original pads were Superbe Pro road sized and shaped and are 
the best brakes I've used. The Kool Stops have an internal frame in the pad 
but it's not the full length of the pad, it only goes to the last notch in 
the pad, which lend itself perfectly to a chop with some good shears or 
anything else you want to use. Depending on the frame, the frame end may 
require a touch of filing.
