The width of the brake track itself can be an issue - I found the stock LB brake pads to be somewhat snug around the 25 mm rims with my DA7900 brakes. It wasn't a big deal, it just required using the brakes with the lever in the open position. The Swissstop Black Prince Flash EVO pads are good for tighter brake track fits.
