Having a braking issue where the pads are too thick for the brake track and rub on the non machined part of the rim
The pads themselves are as high as possible, any higher and they start getting caught by the tyre
The tyre is quite bulged due to the rim width and the volume of the tyre but it’s not bad
I’m using Clark’s tripple compound mtb pads, they’re quite chunky, if I swap to the Swiss stop thin lines are they just thinner in the amount of pad to wear, or are they a bit thinner and longer all round?
Im assuming I can’t just ignore it as the rubbing will proceed to be more than just aesthetic at some point
