You also may be able to adjust how open the caliper sits at rest or adjust how it sits in the fork to give more clearance.
Yeah, I did open the brake up a bit and then more to the point there was almost no brake. It was better, but I am close to no brake at how open I had to have them. I never sell bike stuff, so a grinder might be the bet for me. I won't sell my campy chorus brakes from the 80's anyway. They were about the best made. I guess I could just let the tire wear, but then every time I replace them, I am going to deal with it again and again. I may ride no brake tomorrow, but I don't really enjoy it. I don't like concentrating to that level ALL the time in the city of Pittsburgh. Just a bit too much. Sure I could ride 21's in the city, but I wanted to ride this year around and that is a little wild for a 190 pound dude.
