Matt,
Thanks. I think the adjuster is screwy. A few clicks and it locks the
brakes. Keep adjusting and suddenly the wheel is free again. I can do this
over and over, always adjusting in the same direction, getting the brakes
to lock, then turn free, until finally they clamp thoroughly.and further
adjustment is not possible.
Is there a fix (ie, a common solution for a well-known problem), or should
the entire mechanism be replaced?
Thanks for your suggestion.
Jeff
