I hope that someone in the group can elucidate. Brake is adjusted up using a 7mm hex; take the rubber plug from the back of the calliper and turn it up till the wheel just starts to bind when turned by hand. It self-adjusts after this. Don't muck with the cables until this is right. -- Richard & Mary Sutherland-Smith
