My hand brake is up for adjustment. Just wanted to find out if it needs to be adjusted at the rear brake hub or if it can be adjusted along the cable somewhere.

thanks.

From memory there is an adjustment at the handle. Remove the cover and you'll see it.
Also try a search because I seem to remember this coming up a while age.

I would adjust at the rear first and then at the handbrake cable.

Adjustment is accessed through a slot in the backing plate of your rear discs.

Strongly suggest you follow Don's advise and adjust at wheel at first, if you don't as I found out, previous owners mechanic adjusted cable and back hand brake shoe wore down to backing plate. Make sure that the cable has some free play!
