What to do about this?
My world cup xx brakes stick when I squeeze the caliper. The reach adjustment knob rubs against my grips. Here are pictures. Is there any way to fix this?

Need to take that to a Specialized dealer and ask what's up with this? Maybe that or move the brake lever in 1/2".

What good is that going to do. Just specialized grips. These are on a SC Tallboy. The left brake does not have the reach adjustment knob so it is in good shape. This thing is driving me crazy. It's the only thing I lack from riding my new bike.

Why not run the brake levers futher inboard, unless you need to use all your fingers to grab the lever with, 1 or 2 fingers should be sufficent to brake with. Set the lever up for this, and there should be no contact between the adjustor and the lock-on part of the grip.

Just move the lever in, you may find it much more comfortable anyway.
