I just did a chain lube which to my shame is only the third chain lube I have done this season. To get the bike on my work stand required taking the front tire off. This is a brand new Schwalbe tire and the tire sidewall is a little too wide for the brake calipers, even when they are released. (I guess my bike mechanic felt this is okay because he is the one who installed the tire.)
When I put the front tire back on the bike, I discovered that the left side caliper is pressed into the rim and prevents the front wheel from spinning easily. The front brake is a Shimano cantilever style brake.
How would I adjust the brake to give the brake pad some clearance from the rim, and so allow the tire to spin freely, yet still brake?
Thanks a ton
