7900 brakes rubbing
Hi, ive just swapped my wheels over from xxx racelite tubular to aeolus 5 clincher and fitted new pads, i have dura ace 7900 brakes. And when i release the quick release and even loosen the cable, the pads are rubbing the wheel hard, can i open the caliper any further? ? Ive taken the inner washer off the brake pad and that worked, but ive just read that is need for pad alignment.
many thanks

I'm going to assume that you mean that the brake pads won't clear the TIRE as opposed to not clearing the rim. Try letting the air out of the tire.

Make sure the cable adjustment nut is screwed down to its lowest position as well.
You need to look at Shimano tech docs /7900 brakes and set them up again....but given that you are struggling with your brakes, I suggest, without want to sound rude, you take it to a bike shop or similar.

i think i'll start from scratch if not take it to the shop.
thanks to both you for your help
