    There is a channel cut into my rims.. Not sure if it's for clearing water in the wet or something else, I'd say it's not even half a mil deep
    Anyway they are basic aluminium rims and wondering if my pads should be sitting across this section or above it(there's just enough space above the ridge ie tyre side for the pads)
    Cheers
    Marty.

    Sounds like a wear indicator. When it's no longer visible, your rims are toast. I'd say your pads should hit it centrally.
