Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Brake calipers that clear a CL50 whe

I've just upgraded to some Roval CL50 wheels with a nice and wide 29.4mm outside width. Unfortunately I'm finding that my SRAM Rival calipers aren't quite up to the width. With new brake pads, they fit but have only a fraction of a mm of clearance to the rim even with the cable disconnected. Will I find more clearance with Force or Red calipers? The Rivals are pretty basic dual pivots and don't have some of the adjustments that the higher range units do but was hoping for some feedback before spending.

Aren't those rims made for disc brakes and have no brake track?

No, they are available for both. CL 50 – Roval Components Click configure and rim is still listed as an option as of now.

Mine definitely have a brake track and they are laced to Roval rim brake hubs.
