Well, the 32mm tire just gets past these so I am happy about that. I took the brakes apart and cleaned them up.
Not very complicated and Simichrome is amazing stuff http://www.simichrome-polish.com/.
A little rust here and there but nothing too crazy. The brakes originally came with sintered Modolo pads that were too harsh for the anodized GP4 rim. The pads were replaced with a more rubber-like pad.
The rear brake adjustment barrel had a issue. Corrosion had fused the cable ferrule in the cable stop. I had to resort to the drill press to assert my will.
The offending ferrule was reduced to brass foil and eventually popped out. Here is an intact ferrule next to the remains of the offending subject.
Don't mess with the drill press.
