they do not need adjusted.

the caliper may be partially siezed.

Was the handbrake ok on it?

the caliper sliders and poiston are probably sticky.

should have done both cables though, they are cheap anyway.

GSf do the rubbers and bearings, dunno abotu the spring cup itself

1. yes it can, theres a small spindle (plastic) that sticks up and can be turned to adjust the height, theres anothe rthats horizontal that adusts in and out.

2. Dunno but I need one for my rsi lump, they are rocking horse stuff.

3. standard is best for speed and driveability when hot, but cone for the noise and on a run the cone will be better.
