Are the rims new? I've found that a hundred miles or so of not-too-clean
riding surfaces can do a lot to "match" pads to rims.

Perhaps enlarge the hole in the shifter a wee bit?

+1. I've used the 60s in both 26" and 29er sizes, in both regular and
"extralite" -- saves 100 grams, 800 gr versus 900 gr for 700C -- and for
their price and their weight they are very good; they roll well (for their
bulk and thickness). But not much sand traction, tho' I liked them for

In defense of the old 3 speed igh, the drag, at least for the old SA AW,
