Also, why not file your brake bridge a bit?
I was out of cycling for a number of years, and the Center for Cycling World Memo Distribution (CCWMD for short) didn't forward my messages to me.
In all seriousness, I confess I did file the brake bridge down a bit. There's a lot of steel there, and it mostly needs the strength in the forward/back direction, so I figured a couple of millimeters of steel filed off the bottom of the round bulge they brazed into the brake bridge isn't likely to do much of anything. I have clearance now. I just need to find some touch up paint!
