OK I didn't know there was a lever adjustment.
But yes I did adjust the shoe adjustment until the rotor fit on them without rubbing on both sides. That made the brake lever travel much less, so I think I'm ok on the lever. I might still be a tad too tight on the shoes...

To do it correctly you start at the shoes and adjust them so they are close, but don't rub. After that you adjust the lever so it tightens after a small number of clicks. If you only adjust at the lever you run the risk that only the shoes on one side disengage from the drum.
