Default Re: Brake question

The only way to adjust the rods to factory specs is to bring the complete system back to factory specs. This is precisely why they stated not to adjust then during brake service. It masks other problems. Shortening the front brake rods will bring the brake levers past vertical at maximum braking, making them less efficient. It is simple geometry, that should not be changed for a correct brake system.
