I read that post, but haven't really had the need to adjust mine yet. Guess, I will soon enough if mine starts going Jurassic on me

I think I need to do that to mine... I need to pull it ALL the way up or it makes that Jurassic Park t-rex noise as it creeps it's way out of my drive way
If I don't pull it all the way it just does a slow roll, and there's a good grade at my work that I park and stop on.

No... I was trying to be witty... oh so witty... epic fail


On a serious note though, does anybody have a "Brake Spoon"?

I could stop at a qt and grab a pack of choc beer for your wheels.
Brake spoon? Never heard of it. It doesn't bend, your brakes do?
Srsly though, what's it used for? This is Oklahoma, we can engineer something.

Here is a brake spoon



I'll just pick one up tomorrow, and we can take care of it Sunday... they cost like $7, and have a special groove (not pictured)... for the PITA it would be to make one, I think I can spare the 7 bucks and wait a day

According to the write up, it's to access and rotate the adjuster screw . I've never done this, yet, so no idea.

Never had an adjuster on disk brakes, we always used flatheads on drum star adjusters. Might see if a flatty will work.
