May 19, 2014 at 2:48 comment added Spo Sirs, thank you very much for your help. So, the only area to be hit by the brake should be that 1cm space between the rim and tire?

May 19, 2014 at 2:19 comment added Batman On a rim designed to be used with a rim brake, theres a clear section for where the brake is supposed to hit. If it hits there and only there, its fine. Otherwise the brake needs adjustment.
May 19, 2014 at 2:13 comment added Daniel R Hicks Note from the rimskin site: If you have a caliper brake, you must select the Caliper Brake option when choosing your size. This will leave your braking surface uncovered so your brake doesn't rub on the rimSkin. DO NOT APPLY A RIMSKIN OVER THE BRAKING SURFACE OF YOUR RIM IF YOU ARE USING A BRAKE.
May 19, 2014 at 2:13 comment added Daniel R Hicks It looks like the rear pad might be a little low, but it's hard to tell without a more detailed picture. If you don't fix it by adjusting the pads it would probably be wise to carefully remove that portion of the stickers that the pads catch, so as to not hinder braking.
May 19, 2014 at 1:46 comment added freiheit Welcome to Bicycles Stack Exchange! Could you please add a close-up picture of the brakes and of the rim sticker skid marks? It's difficult to see any detail in this picture.
