Re: Hand brake cable problems

Are you certain you did the procedure correctly? It has been awhile, but I believe you are supposed to roll backwards a bit and hit the brakes to get the pads in the right position... then adjust the pbrake handle so that it snugs up with 7 clicks.

I suppose if you start out by not rolling backward and hitting the brake the shoes are left out of position and throws off any adjustment you might do.

It would also be important to double check and make sure that the new cable was installed correctly.
