The invention relates to a brake actuation mechanism having first and second adjusting mechanism. The first adjusting mechanism includes a cam member that engages a portion of a lever member.

Each of the cam surfaces is configured such that, when engaged with the lever member, defines a different brake disengagement position for the lever member. Each brake disengagement position corresponds to a corresponding position of brake shoes.
