I spent probably an hour or two working on it with a regular toe and the pads are sill in good shape and rims and pad were clean at the time. I finally gave up and went to the bike shop to see if they could figure it out. Mechanic works on it for a good fifteen minutes no luck another mechanic happens to walk up and suggest a reverse toe worked on the first try. Been using that method and it works great every time on that patciular bike(Soma w/ house fork & avid 6). I use a thin card around 65lb cover to help set the toe. My other cross bike likes the toe the normal way (alum/carbon).
