Tire clearance issue

Having an issue with tire clearance on my Look 695. The issue is between the tire and the brake caliper, not the frame. Running Campy SR and wondering if there is another caliper with more clearance. Something like the EE Cycleworks or TRP??

Shimano 6800. See if you can borrow one to check the clearance. Very good brakes too!

Ee brakes look to have more clearance. Preskeleton campag stuff and the new chorus skeleton brakes do as well.

Try running a longer brake bolt and a spacer (~3-4mm). It will give you more clearance without having to change the calliper.

I have a '16 Vamoots (which I love) but will not fit any 28mm tire in the front using Campy skeleton calipers, despite Moots' claim. This is using the Moots fork. I purchased a pair of Ultegra 6800 calipers and they do the trick.

Yes, I second this. My bike got a case of tire rub when I put bigger meats on it. So, my bike shop suggested trying Ultegra 6800. Solved the problem!
