I have disc brakes, possibly even hydraulic, on my Whyte Suffolk and they've just never been what I'd call brilliant.
Was one of the things I mentioned at the first service, but the guy cleaned them and sent me on my way. Took them back and they adjusted the length of a cable.
Got fed up and went to another LBS for various reasons and they said they'd never been set up properly. So they set them up properly. And the performance was just the same.
I'm not being picky - if a car came out in front of me I don't think I could stop quick enough. I'm ok on rural roads etc but if I needed responsive brakes I'd be struggling.
I'd just like to pull the brakes and stop quickly, maybe even catapult over the handlebars. That's the dream anyway.
I'm sure it's straight forward to adjust them, but I don't know how. Any advice/tips? If it wasn't a C2W bike I'd just punt the bloody thing and start again!!!
