I bought a set of Dia-Compe G brakes, and they look good. Trouble is, they don't seem to have a long enough reach to keep the pads from rubbing the tires.
I've only installed the rear brake, and have loosened the pads to the point that they're at the lowest place on the caliper. At the rear of the bike facing front, I can get the right pad to be right below the edge of the rim, which should be enough to be effective. But the left side pad seems to be touching the tire.
Am I doing something wrong? I really wanted these to work.
Thank you,
