There are things about this photo that bother me. Why were you previously running your brakes against the inside face of the wheel and not on the braking surface?
Also, that spoke in front of the fork looks a bit mangled.
Thanks! Yeah, the brakes were set up like that when I got my old bike so that's how I kept it. Brakes were really crappy and just rubbed and I couldn't even scrub off the rubber. I just kept them there until I got a new brake set. I checked the brakes and they are indeed not hitting the tires although it does look a little weird in the picture.
As for the spoke, I snagged it on something while locking it up one time. =/
