I am adjusting the rear brake lever so that I don't inadvertently let my boot ride the pedal and wear out the rear pads.
As you can see, there are two nuts. One I have backed off about three turns, and that makes me have to push a lot further down to engage the brake. There is a spring that holds it at a constant height, but until I push about three inches down, there is no pressure on the rear brake.
My question is: what keeps the nut from moving in either direction. There is no lock nut. There is a small nut up near the black rubber part. It refuses to turn. There is a third nut inside the bottom of the bracket which is impossible to get at.
There must be something simple I'm missing. Maybe it is I who have become simple!
