Tighten the bolts, then back off the adjusters until you have just a
little 'scuffing' of pads on rotor. Then ride hard to break in. Now adjust for minimum spacing without drag. Now you should be good to go!
BTW--the oem pads had a fair amount of squeal, so I got some Kool Stops, and now they do not sound 'like a pig under a gate'!
Gotta be careful who your bicycle squeals like a pig around... "Hey boi, you look just like a hawg."
