Just replaced my brake pads my myself for the first time today, but I think I've fucked it up a bit but I'm too inexperienced to properly understand what I've done wrong.
Have been following a Parktool YT video for all of this. I removed the old pads and put the new ones on in what I think is the same orientation and with 3 spacers / washers on either side etc, but then the pads barely grazed the rim at all even when squeezing the lever all the way. I tried pulling the cable tighter to remove the slack, but the result now is that it doesn't grip the rim as hard as even the old worn out pads and it's much harder to pull the lever which doesn't even get me as much braking force.
What exactly did I fuck up here and how do I unfuck it?
