So my brakes are hanging too low on my track frame, and touching the tyres ever so slightly. When riding fast, I start to hear a whirring noise, but when stationary, there's about a 1mm gap between the tyre and the brake.
Is there anything that can be done about this? The brake I have is one of the smallest, with very short reach. Not sure if another brake would be the answer, or whether there's another way of mounting the brake that would fix it.
Happy to post more information or pictures if clarification is needed.
