105 5800 Brake Adjustment

Morning all,

Just back from a ride in the sun and bike wash and I noticed my rear brake had been rubbing on the tire slightly.

Is there anyway to adjust the drop at all? I got a 2nd hand set off ebay, standard clearance I think but the pads are right at the bottom of the slot and it's not quite enough

Suggestions would be great!

Thank you

That would probably do it. Not sure sure 105 come in 57mm.

what about if I just filed the slot out 2/3mm.......

The bike is a GT GTS Expert, it came with standard tekro dual pivot, slightly longer i guess

Takes mudgaurds so I guess that's why frame needs 57mm?

yeah, never really thought about it. I'll have a look at the brake, see how much meat there is.
