Reading Clymers, they say to turn the adjustment screw in until there is "no brake lever travel and then turn screw an additional half turn." Having flamed up on the rear before I am a little worried about this adjustment. Comments?

Use common sense.

Thanks, so you've never adjusted the front brake lever? I did it while bleeding and the interesting thing was, to me, that when you turned that screw in, much less fluid shot from the nipple at the bottom of the master. The way they say to do it does seem extreme, that's why I asked. Didn't want to buy more parts from you unnecessarily from you. Very Happy

Ihaven't played with one for a while. I was serious about jsut using common sense. (And at least now you know to stop immediately if your brake starts dragging.)
