Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

If it's a new problem on an old wheel you might resolve it simply by flipping the wheel. This lets the shoes "ski jump" off the high side silently. Otherwise the solution is to carefully file or sand the area smoother.

Remove as little metal as possible, and don't worry about getting it perfect. Once you're close, the brake shoes will wear it smooth within a short while.
