Ok really it's a rookie don't know how to adjust brake problem. Front brake lever pulls all the way to the bars with little movement from the caliper. At first I thought pads were worn but they are not. After looking at , I adjusted the fixed pad a little closer just till it started to rub disc then did the same with the outside pad. That's when I noticed the outside pad doesn't move much at all. Don't really know how to adjust cable. Thanks all Ozzy

Loosen the hex screw that holds the cable to the "arm". Screw the adjuster all the way in, then back off one turn. Move the arm toward the rotor with your finger until it comes into contact. Tighten the hex screw that holds the cable to the arm. Screw in the adjuster until you can see a little daylight between the pad and rotor.

Ok ,told you I am a rookie . Apparently these brakes are Hayes so1e Hyd single piston. The LBS gave me the mx2 pads. That must be the same as so1e pads because they fit right in. Ok so now sorry sorry sorry...I need help adjusting these . Because the brake lever pull all the way in put the piston doesn't move much.

Loosen the screws that hold the caliper to the mounting bracket (not the screws that hold the mounting bracket to the fork). Turn the adjuster for the inside pad 1/2 turn. Apply the brake while you re-tighten the caliper mounting screws.
