My rear avid BB5 is set up right, so I get a nice lever, but after a while of riding I end up with a very long lever.

It seems to be the non-moving adjustment knob loosening off. Is this likely to be the case? Can it be repaired?

I have those brakes on my Vaya and haven't suffered that problem. My guesses would be cable stretch, loose cable clamp bolt or pad wear.

Cheers for response. Dont think its cable stretch as if I tighten the non-moving adjustment knob it works again.

Anyone know if a new adjustment know might fix this problem?
