Well some may have a differnt view here but here goes. The most important thing is proper toe in. What you can do is take a match book cover and fold it in half. Place it on the very back last say 3m of the pad and tighten the pad down. Now what I like to do is when running the cable, pull it all the way through, and then take the end of the noodle and set it on the inside of the carrier bracket to where it is suspended, then tighten up the cable. This allows you to be able to disengage the brake for removing the wheel easier.
