I hope I can get closure on this issue, which I never resolved since I got this bike, complete with an Ultegra brake-set.
The problem is that the rear-brake will always somehow move around, so I end up with a shoe rubbing on the rim. The rim itself is perfectly true.
I have tried:
-centering the brakes perfectly and tightening them with force many times.
-replacing the toothed washer between brake and bridge.
-locking everything down with loctite centered perfectly.
Still to no avail. Usually it takes less than 20km before one side starts rubbing again. So I have to open the brakes almost all the way again. Riding this way is especially annoying riding downhill in the drops, because the rear brakes will not grip before pulling them almost all the way.
