Mine have adjuster knobs on either side of where the rotor slides in ...
twist one way to make 'em tighter and the other way to make 'em looser.

All mechanical disc brakes have a fixed side and a side that moves. The
Avid mechanical discs have adjustments for both sides. Most other models
have one adjustable fixed side, and the other side is adjusted through pure
cable tension. Use the barrel adjusters on the caliper or on the brake
lever to get it just right.
