Was just trying to figure out what you had going on as I have direct mount 5800 series brakes and they can only accommodate 28mm wide rim.
Was just hoping you weren't a noob like me and made a very costly mistake.
Speaking of which I have a rear 56mm laced up on a 240 hub that I simply cannot use due to my direct mount limitations.
Hold up. Have you tried the R7000 DM brakes? DM has more tire and rim clearance than standard mount. I wouldn’t give up just yet. All this talk about stuff not fitting is honestly scaring the crap outta me, despite my measuring far more than 30mm between the pads.....
My theory is that if the pads can easily fit around a fat 28 tire, then they can clamp a rim of that width as well?? God I’m going to feel so dumb if I actually messed this up
