tyres - brakes
Just put some 2nd tyres on to my mountain bike wheels, but now discovered
they are too wide for the brakes as they are set. Is there a way I can readjust the brakes so that the wheels can fit in properly?

Did you unhook the brakes before putting the wheel back on the bike? -- o-o-o-o Ride-A-Lot o-o-o-o www.schnauzers.ws

Is it possible to adjust the brakes so that they don't rub against the wheel, or do I need smaller tires?

If it is, you can move the pads down onto the rim by loosening the nut on the pad post. -- o-o-o-o Ride-A-Lot o-o-o-o www.schnauzers.ws
