ok wee tip for ye ,,,,,,,,,,,, let off yer handbrake adjustment ,,,,,,,,, then adjust up yer rear brakes ,,,,,,, have so ye can just feel the shoes binding , then hit wi a hammer ,,, when they run free but ye still hear em
(skiffing) then ye got em right ,,,, now adjust handbrake to 4 or 5 clicks
if that doesnt work ,,,,,, then ye need to try a re bleed ,,,,,,,,, a simple fix for this is ,,,,,, open a nipple at a time and let it run thru until no bubbles appear ,, then see how that goes
