HED 6+/ Black questions on brake shoe width...
Quote | Reply
Man... these things are crazy wide.

I just put a pair with 25mm GP4000S II on my road bike. Took some serious adjustment to get the brakes wide enough.

I have DA 9000 brakes.

My issue is this... they are so wide apart due to the rim width that the back of the brake shoe holder is nearly hitting the fork.

Is there any issue with taking out the washer so the shoe sits closer to the wheel? What other options are there??

I have that same setup with no problems on Ultegra 6800 brakes -- I'll take a pic tomorrow and post it.

you could remove the spacers you mention or insert a taller one between brake and fork so when brake open more it doesn't touch fork(it shouldn't when fully open normally anyway)
