I'm building up a Hubbahhubbah, and everything has gone very smoothly (at least after getting the defective eccentric bottom bracket replaced), even though this is my first full-bike build from parts. I have run in to one challenge, however, involving the brakes. I've picked Paul Motolite linear-pull brakes and Velocity Cliffhanger rims, and the front brakes installed and adjusted very easily, with maybe 2-3mm of extra travel available to move the pad holders downwards before running out of lever arm. On the rear, however, even with the pad holders all the way down I cannot get the pads to land square on the brake track. It feels like the rear brake braze-ons are positioned slightly too high on the seatstays. Should I just live with it, with the brake pads hitting the rim at an angle right at the top of the brake track? Replace the wheels with 29ers? Tear the whole thing apart and have the braze-ons moved and the whole thing repainted? Try different brakes? I'm kind of bummed about this. Advice welcome!
