I think I'm about as far in as I can be with the barrel adjuster.

Could this be a tire problem? ie, when putting the tire back on, is it possible for it to be shifted more to one side than the other, or is this more likely to still be a brake issue? Thanks!
You can "eyeball" the tire/wheel alignment. Just make sure the rim is equidistant from both fork legs. (or chainstays/seatstays if the rear)

You can probably just manually rotate the brake assembly to center it.
