Now that makes sense. Mine still locks easier than I wish it did, but it certainly requires a great deal more "ankle" now & I can actually change the pressure on the pedal & feel a change in braking w/o it locking up, I think I could hack more shoe away & have a brake that WILL lockup, but give me a wider range of pedal pressures available before it does.

Ill certainly wait & see how it acts with the Goodrich on the back before I mess with the brak any more. It will have a LOT more patch on the ground during braking.

The 2.4 inches sounds right. That's about where I ended up, but had to tighten up the nut in the back to get less cable play and better braking. A lot of the ability to brake is lost with the nut too loose. It acts kinda mushey.

I've never thought about doing this. I can latch my foot under the pedal while riding. Though sometimes on long rides it isn't always such a bad thing. Do you have any after photos.

Might not be a bad idea to do a write up on and make it a sticky with the other things.

How can locking it ever increase braking?

thats not what i mean..
sometimes you may need to lock up the back with the pedal too low it would be harder to do..
