I actually set mine a little loose feeling. The night before I crashed I tightened the brakes on my MTB. I thought I feathered my front brake but set it too tight and flipped when it locked up. I was in the dirt so be careful cause the pavement will affect the grip even more.
Be sure after setting brakes tighter that you ride slowly for a while to get the feel of the new grip. My separated shoulder wished I had.
Will do. Do you have a guesstimate as to how much cable to pull through?
