What type of brakes? Some brakes have an adjustment screw to fine tune pad spacing. Also, if you just bought the bike, your dealer should be able to help.

What bike racks are yall using thats not roof mounted?? All the ones I've found don't work with an over size tire.....Hitch mount does not come out far enough, and the ones that attaches to the spare, the hoop does not fit over the tire! So I'm looking at the ones that mount to the spare tire via lug nuts.....Anybody got opinions on these??

They sell an extension to get the hitch mount past the overside spare...
