I see in the photos you have Paul brakes with long pads. My experience has been
with Silver/Tektro dual-pivot brakes with short road pads. So there are two
possible contributing factors. One would be flexing of the Paul caliper arms,
which would be greater than what you’d experience if the brake calipers were
directly mounted to the frame. I don’t know if they flex more than the
dual-pivot brakes I have used. Some people have complained about the amount of
flex but I never felt it was an issue.
The second issue would be the long brake pads. Out the gates, those pads will
need more brake track height because they are straight and the brake track
curves. In addition, the greater length means the ends will travel farther than
the ends of short pads for a given amount of caliper flex.
If it were me I’d try some short road pads on those brakes.
