I realize there's an adjustment screw on the brake lever and I plan on adjusting that.
I'm concerned that my brakes might be set too close to being engaged even when my hand is off the brake lever.
My reason for suspicion is that when I go to apply the front brake, outside of the fact that I've not adjusted the lever, it feels too "ready" to start braking. I'm not saying that the brakes are touchy or sensitive. I simply mean that the brakes feel as if they're too close to their friction point even when they're not engaged.
Another reason is that I hear a mild squeak while coasting, which could be one of a few things. Still, I'm targeting the front brake as a culprit that needs to be tended to anyhow.
How do I adjust the brakes opposite of the lever? I'll look in the manual but, again, the photos are trouble.
