Just did that last night when I took my Super Course for its first shakedown spin last night. At first I thought that the SC was going to simply be a tank, and that it would be going on the chopping block. But, I stopped to take a closer look and noticed that the tire was rubbing the stay. One quick adjustment later, I was having that "wheee!" feeling as I hurtled down the road and thought that it might be a keeper after all. The inside of the stays were both already worn, so no guilt over paint damage.
I had the "easy" reminder, which is good to have at the beginning of the riding season.
