I tried this method first because this is how it worked on my old S-105 bike. Physically moving worked temporarily. One pad is nearly touching the rim while the other has about 50mm clearance. When it rains, the pad closest to the rim fills up and is basically sanding the rim. Braking power is diminished.
I have some extra washers that came with the brake shoes maybe I'll try that next.
