So I was perusing the Velonews review of the new Cole carbon clinchers, and came upon this statement -
"The repositioned brake track requires brake pads to be adjusted accordingly. On my Trek Madone with Dura-Ace 7800 calipers, I had no problems moving the pads down so that they centered on the brake track. On bikes without the requisite range of adjustment, different brake-pad carriers can be used to drop the pads low enough to correctly contact the rim."
Do such things exist? I've never seen them, but thought several times about how useful something like that could be... sort of like a drop bolt for your brake shoes.
