when i adjust my brakes, i push down on the pedal maybe 2-3 times and then the wheels lock up. the cable does not return into the caliper. i disassembled the whole thing, cleaned it, and it still does the same thing. even the adjustment i made wasn't enough to sp me from rolling, and when i turn the adjuster tighter, it gets worse. i don't know what the deal is. my quad is fine, the front brakes work and everything, and it runs great but i'm having a biotch trying to get these brakes to work. i do havenew pads as well, if your wondering. another thing is, when the cable won't go in, if i loosen one of the 2 allen bolts (i only have two on the cover thing), i hear a loud pop and the cable goes back in. it seems like it is getting hung up on something. btw, thank u for reading this long post.
