new Wheel \ Tyre catching on brakes

sherer

Hi

I've replaced my current wheel with a some new Zipp 202s that are the same size and also put new tires on the wheels. I've changed the brake blocks over as well but the new wheels catch on the brakes so much I can't rotate the wheels. I've opened the brakes as much as I can but they still catch.

I'm sure this is a quick fix but not sure how to adjust this further, anyone know what I need to do to fix this ?

You need to redo the cable that's all. 1 minute job.

Have the barrel adjuster so brakes are tight to rim. Loosen the Allen bolt holding the cable, squeeze the brake blocks with one hand into the rim, pull the cable tight and redo the Allen bolt with the other. Fine tune with barrel adjuster. Done!

Thanks a lot for that. New it would be simple

brilliant, almost there now only issue is with the back wheel on the chain keeps slipping off the smallest cog which is where I had it when I took the wheel off. Any ideas ?

Adjust the limit screws on the rear mech
