Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

bent brake bosses?

With Brake pads installed my brakes don't fully contact the wheel.... even with an adjustable post on the pads, only the corners of my brake pads will touch the rim of the wheel.

I don't know if this is from a bent Brake Boss, or a poorly drilled fork... or my poor wrenching ability.

They're pretty basic tektro brakes (which may be my problem) but is there a way to fix or adjust the brakes?
