If one pad seems to run against the rim while the other still has plenty of space, you will need to center the brakes. To do this, adjust the spring tensioner screws located at the base of each brake arm. Tightening the screw on the right brake arm pushes the right brake pad away from the rim, and the left brake pad towards the rim.
