 than the end of the cable, so the lock nut has to go the opposite way to 
 most (all?) other bikes.  He also said that this was demonstrated
 incorrectly on the Triumph training video! >>
The smaller of the two 'nuts' is the adjuster. I turned that away from the 
from the brake lever, almost out to the end of its travel, then brought the 
bigger 'lock nut' up snug against it. Free play is almost nil at this point, 
which is the way I like it. I probably moved them significanlty when I 
installed the Euro headlight switch, without realizing it.
