I'm doing it right I'm starting to think cable is stressing.
You probably skipped the first step in disc brake instillation and adjustment
Maybe you should watch a vid on how to install and adjust disc brakes
I would try and explain, but watching a vid might help you understand better
Besides my terminology just might confuse you more

So I got one of those cheap disc brake adapters. It was a pain to get it adjusted good and even then it seemed pretty flimsy. Then I saw how Nowlater's epically failed. I went ahead and got one of the bbr adapters and the difference is night and day. The brake is rock solid now. Got it adjusted very easily as well. While I was at it I replaced the tire with a good one off of another bike. Now my front wheel assembly is worth more than the whole bike(minus engine). I feel a lot safer though.
