Once I adjusted my brakes for the 3rd time I took a slightly different approach.. I found a dirt road, got up to 20 mph and hit the brakes. The marks in the dirt will tell you which wheel are sliding (braking hard) and which ones are not. I adjusted the brakes so the skid marks from all 4 sliding wheels were about the same length in the sand, and then went for a ride on a paved road. Stops pretty good now.
