I have a large Superlight and I am running Avid Single Digit Ti V brakes. In order to remove the rear tire I have to deflate the tire. Does anyone else have this problem? If so have you been able to do anything to fix it?

The brake pad hits the frame so I can not see any way to let the brakes open up any further. The only option I can think of is to remove the brake pads every time I want to remove the wheel.


This hasn't really been much of a problem but now I am getting ready to start using stans no-tube. I believe that it may be a problem.

Thanks
