I liked the Neutron wheels + Schwalbe One 25mm tires combo on my Ultimate CF that much that I decided to buy another set of Neutron wheels for my Ultimate AL 2010. So I bought some second-hand Neutron wheels, 2 new Vittoria Corsa SC gumwalls and then putted the wheels in the Ultimate AL and ... the tires rub the rear brake :(

I tried my Ksyrium Elite S wheels with 25mm Yksion tires too, the result is a little bit better (a few mm clearance but the tires also rub when braking).

As the brakes are Campagnolo Athena skeleton brakes my current plan is to switch the single pivot rear brake to a dual pivot to get some more space. Is it possible to rebuild a front brake to a rear brake?
Any other solutions?

I'm currently still running Ksyrium SSC wheel with 23mm Conti GP4000s without ay problems.
