Just got round to fitting my wheels back on after sorting my gear linkage but now just found out my calipers rub on the wheels (used to fit fine before, can only be due to changing pads to a diff brand)

Rushing round to find an angle grinder but I can safely shave a few mil cant I? Or not generally recommended?

pads should be any different by changing brand.

Check over everything.

Thanks guys but checked everything, must have been the pads that have pushed the caliper out a bit, all so bit of a grind off the calipers, brakes and droves fine now
