OK, the brakes need adjusting & the manual reads: -

11. Squeeze and hold the brake lever. While holding the brake lever, shake the mechanical brake to position it in its natural centered position over the
disc. While still squeezing the lever, tighten the mounting bolts.
12. Using a 5mm Allen wrench, turn the fixed inner pad adjuster counter clockwise 1/8 of a turn until there is a .015”-.020” (.38-.50mm) gap.
13. Adjust the amount of lever travel by turning the adjuster barrel at your lever.

Since the inner pad is fixed, all the above seems to achieve is moving the caliper on to the fixed pad & once the lever is released, the outer pad moves away from the disc meaning excess travel that cannot be removed with the barrel adjuster

Am I missing something here????
