on a Bombadil it may be less of an issue, but... I put a couple layers of the Lizard Skin protective stickers on the inside of the fork bladed where the pad-holders hit them when the brakes are fully open. I've got a wet-paint Hillborne; maybe your Bombadil is powdercoated, which might not really need the protection. Anyway, I got a Lizard Skin clear chainstay protector and cut from it patches that did *not* have any logo on them to do this.
Oh, and I imagine you'd deflate the tire to get it past the brakes if there's no room otherwise even when the brakes are open. At least, I'd do that instead of discombobulating my brake pads; deflating/inflating a tire is less tedious than re-adjusting brakes.
