I've been really starting to notice the amount of sideways deflections my roadie rims get (Easton EA-50s). They are stout rims and in good shape, but when I grasp the rim with my hand and try and deflect them sideways I can foul the brake pad on either side without exerting myself. My brake levers have a fairly normal engagemetn point of perhaps halfway. Is this sort of movement typical? Should I be running my brakes even further away from the rims than I do? I weigh around 95-100kg, ride wearing a fairly heavy bag and like to toss the bike around hard.
Note: Replaced the cartridge wheel bearings in the rear last week - this removed the slop, and the wheels feel a bit stiffer, but there is still a lot of deflection.
