I just bought a set of single pivot XLab brakes (wanted dual pivot, but they were sold out). Now I find myself with a problem... having never used them before, I can't seem to figure out how to set them up properly.
They seem to be sensitive to the length of the cable casing... too long and it pushes the caliper into the rim, making it drag all the time. Too short, and it pulls the caliper over toward it, and makes the other side drag. How do you center these things and make them squeeze from both sides evenly rather than just hit one side of the rim, and shove it over toward the other side?
