If I had gone with 6mm shorter arms, the brake cable would likely have hung
up on/over/under the rack bolt. Here's a picture of the cable coming over
my rack, you can see how close it is. These are the 90mm RX6 arms.

But I agree, if
The Tektro RX6 is not the mini(est)-V model. The Tektro 926AL is their
mini-V model and has 84mm reach. I just got some 926's for $13 per axle
for the tandem. Nice shiny silver. Haven't installed yet though.
If rack clearance is a worry, maybe the extra 6mm will do someone some good.

I'm trying V-brakes on my old LongLow custom, to see what the fuss is all
about and whether they can stop me better than the cantilevers I've been
using. I found a set of Tektro RX6 brakes on eBay, they have reach of 90mm.
Some folks might call these mini-V's, but they're certainly not as long
