Handbrake Adustment Gone Wrong
Today I adjusted my handbrake, handbrake off undid the locking nut tightened cable did up locking nut, now the handbrake leaver is tight, less travel but the handbrake it's self does not come on. Have I made a schoolboy mistake somewhere or do I need to look at something else?
Thanks in advance fort any replies.

Re: Handbrake Adustment Gone Wrong
Not 100% about the mark 1 but would start from scratch if it's gone wrong.
Loosen right off.
Disconnect from both calipers
Pump brakes to set pistons
Connect both cables back to calipers wind adjuster up until the cables just start to put tension on the caliper levers and then fine tune so the handbrake has about 5-8 clicks.
