    I'd guess you're hearing the adjuster climbing the star wheel. You should not hear more than one click, and that very often if they are working right. I always replace the lever and adjuster when refurbing the brakes, for more positive action. Not expensive.

    I replace a set of shoes a year, all the hardware and they still only work for a little bit. The mud around here is gritty and causes all that stuff to wear fast.
