Now is the good time to adjust the handbrake. Release the brake lever and
use a flat screwdriver to spin the adjuster wheel until the shoes grab. Then
unwind the adjuster so the rotor just starts spinning freely. Repeat on the
other side. If done correcly, the lever should be tight at 3-4 clicks now.
