I'm having trouble getting sufficient "hold" with the parking brake in the up position AND having minimum/no drag in the released position. I've tried balancing cable tension side to side and between middle and rear wheels.

All cables have been lubed and work smoothly, including in the cable housings. All brake parts are there. The cockpit adjuster turns smoothly and nothing is at either end of it's travel. I've muscled the U-turn brake cable adjuster dealy to better even out the cable tension, both the front one and both rear side ones.

I either get a wheel to lock up too quickly or drag or I get nothing if I adjust so they don't drag. I thought I had the star wheels lubed, adjusted, and correctly oriented (Jim K, are you listening?), when I was recently in there.

Any suggestions?
