Thanks so far. I think my cable is OK. I have not used the barrel adjuster. I have tried the other things but perhaps not in the best order. I did not try to true the wheel but I did make loosen the quick release and made sure it was seated properly. That did not impact the fix either way. The mechanic that installed them, had them set just like the photo
HTupolev shared. I have put on several hundred miles since then. I will double check the true. It does seem that no mater where the wheel lands after spinning the crank, the pad lands on the rim.
I will keep trying. Thanks for your quick response!
