    Are there adjusters on the rear calipers to adjust the handbrake or do you use the cable tensioner? If so, how do you get to it? The lever is coming up too far and the brake isn't biting.

    (If you're adjusting on a used, slightly-grooved rotor don't get too fanatical trying to use a flat feeler gauge.)
