Default Re: Brake adjust

This is a good question. This has always been confusing to me. You can set the lever at 15 degrees with the rod adjustment and then adjust the brakes so that they rub and then back off the adjustment one or two clicks. So how would the lever be anything other than 15 degrees. If you cannot adjust the brakes to drag at 15 degrees lever position, then yes, add a pill or two and start over. Or should the lever be at 15 degrees with the rod disconnected and the adjustment backed all the way off?
