Generally I position my reflectors vertical for best function before tightening them up. Oh, wait, were you talking about the brakes?


The cable barrel adjuster is sort of hindered by the cable tie but the first way is to loosen the barrel up and secure that position with the knurled lock nut. Second might be to take up the slack via the cable anchor bolt and cable clamping point.

Make sure that the flimsy QR/adjuster barrel bracket isn't spreading too wide to support the shelf that it rides on. I often bend the bracket sides in slightly to better clasp the adjuster barrel. Make sure the caliper arms are moving freely w/out and fore/aft slop.

And lastly make sure what ever cable housing end "treatment" you use seats into the barrel adjuster top end, it looks like a housing end cap is simple butted against the adjuster barrel w/out entering the recessed end. Andy
