Hi everyone. I posted a while back about having a really hard time sourcing Avid brakes in Japan. I finally got them through Chain Reaction and they've been every bit as sweet as I had been led to believe. Unfortunately, I noticed that the front set was gradually shifting to the left. I take the wheel off every night when I get home in order to store the bike inside. To my knowledge, the brakes and fork have never been bumped or otherwise knocked out of alignment. However, when I put the wheel on this morning, the right brake pad was touching the rim. No amount of adjusting gave me any gap between pad and rim. Eventually I had to give up and ride my other bike in to work.
I don't know a ton about bike mechanics, I'm learning as I go, but I tried everything I could think of to get some clearance but no dice. I realize most of the riders on here are roadies and don't deal with linear-pull brakes, but if anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. Attached are pics of the set up.
