I have a friend with a 2016 Cannondale Slice. The rear brake has no barrel adjuster and very little opening, even with the cable disconnected. It was ok until we tried to swap in a wider race wheel. The race wheel is an all carbon Flo disc.
We were going to sand down the brake pads but is that really ok to do for a carbon wheel? It seems odd to me that we shouldn't share a pad between aluminum and carbon brake tracks but hitting the pad with an abrasive is ok? What am I missing? Is there a "right" sand paper to use in this case?
FYI, we used thinner pads but there still isn't enough clearance.
