Mike,
It definitely has not, on my car, caused more footpedal travel. I have
less travel, to a firmer 'stop', but as I acknowledged, I also did a bleed
etc.
If I partially apply the handbrake, to the point of 'snugging' the wheel
before setting the adjuster, I don't see how, when the handbrake is off, I
have then affected piston travel.
The suggestion I posed is that with the handbrake partially applied before
turning the adjuster in, it might get you to a different adjustment point.
If I were home now, and not at work, I'd re-do it both ways and see if the
adjuster setting ended up being the same both ways.
I'm just happy that I now have improved brakes, which is the most
important thing.
Regards,
Brian

Furthermore, by partially applying the handbrake before adjusting you are
actually increasing the distance that the piston must move when the
footbrake is applied with the handbrake off, thereby negating the
adjustment
that you just performed.
I am afraid to say that the VTR article is not as right as it could be, to
quote Tim "The Toolman" Taylor.
Mike
