as Glen says, lube the shyte out of the cable! as for how tight the back nut should be? well i always find it's a bit of trial and error with that.......nip it up until it holds and also allows the caliper to return properly, saying that though i've had some that just never seem to want to return correctly whatever you do to em

bolting brakes on is easy.............dialling them in is a fookin fine art
one that i have yet to manage with any great satisfaction
but they are all trial and error

ahh, going by these comments - i assume my MX1000 being absolute crap at actually braking is a bit of a common trait and not just down to my particular brake!

I'm new to all this but after my experience with 901's I've come to the conclusion they are brakes in name only
Pitbulls are the nuts though
