Does anyone know how tight the screws on the dual disk brakes are sopposed to be. I just put mine in and I have like no brakage at all. Are they sopposed to be shanked down to the plastic coupling things or what... Thanks for the input
 
When I tightened mine all the way down the brakes dragged. I had to back the screws out like a 1/4 turn. Do you have the little washers under the screws and the brake pads installed?

Double check your installation against the exploded view in the instructions.

Hope this helps...
 
The screws need to be tightened down to the plastic standoffs. You will need to re-adjust your brakes afterwards to your liking. It will take a little time to break your brakes in, initially they may sound like they are dragging. After the little nubs or burring wears off the disks they will need a slight tweak and should be performing optimally.
