Rear brake advice after new pad install

[iain.atkinson at tesco.net]

Folks

replaced the rear pads today in my 1990 cq20v, after install the handbrake was higher than before, went for a bedding in ride, wow hot brakes like smokin hot, let it cool down for a couple of hours handbrake now back to where it was, went out for another ride, rear brakes still quite hot compared to the front, i can see that the cables are working normally and coming off when the handbrake is on and off. Any ideas??? is it a settle down kinda thing or should i back the hadnbrake adjuster off a touch.

The old pads were right down to 2mm, and the piston's of the calipers were way out, went back into the caliper no problem though.


cheers
