Here’s instructions for adjusting BB7 from Avid. Not the same brake but close enough to use the instructions. You like the ability to adjust the pads on the arm compared to the BB7. The key is that you don’t what much lever movement from unengaged to locked. Mechanical brakes work best if the lever has a very short throw.
