It's attatched to a spring that hangs off of the o/s of the rear beam. You slacken it off until the spring is loose. If the spring is tight, then it means you braks will be biased more to the rear and vice versa.

no, you want it loose. you won't lock just the front. and if you do, it's better than the back locking
