how do you adjust the handbrake ? can you ?
mine is sliping a bit when handbrake is on, it sometimes needs 2 hands to free it !
 
The handbrake can be adjusted by removing the tape holder behind the Handbrake unit. (Philips headed screws)Once removed there is a nut in there which will adjust the amount of pull on the handbrake handle to put the brakes on.
The best way to do it is to adjust at the wheels first then adjust the handbrake lever to give the correct amount of clicks or as you wish to have it. This will ensure the brakes are set correctly.
 
Make sure you adjust the handbrake at the wheels first to ensure they are balanced. Then you can set the number of clicks that you want by adjusting the nut under the cassette holder.
 
got the download done, it took an age !
but at least i got something to read as the dark nights get near.
