Rubbing brakes

[fuzzybuddha]

Size of the tyre eg 622-25? On side of tyre.

700x25

Every time I look at the pic I keep thinking the wheel is the wrong size...

Yeah... I have been looking at it and it might be, but the rear is the same as the front and it fits perfectly. The pads are even in the middle of the slotting. I am stumped.

You may wish to consider the long drop brakes that @glasgowjim has advertised here:
