I think this could work with thin piece of metal that you can slide in between the brake pads and disk tighten it then remove the piece of metal and it should be perfect
So let me get this straight because I'm hoping this fixes my problem. Does this fix the brake cables being too long to stop the bike even when the barrels on the brake levers are all the way out? My brake pads are brand new and there is too much play in my levers? It's really frustrating going to a bike shop near me and them wanting $300 to adjust my brakes. I was going down a crazy 7 Mile trail at the top of a mountain with no brakes. It wasn't my pads wearing down, they are new. Its a new bike and the cable stretched or came loose from the rear cable holding bolt. Basically it seemed squeezing the brakes really hard was stretching the play in the cable.

Didn't work for me. It's like the wire is too long or something
Hi genius. It would be great if you mentioned the tool size to accomplish this repair. Otherwise, some of us could strip the bolt.

This video must be for people who already know how to adjust brakes because you don't tell which each adjustment does
When i pull the brakes I guess it pasts a threshold and then a click happens and the brakes dont bite anymore
