Mechanical disc brakes help?
I recently changed my tyres from downhill mtb to semi-slick hybrids. I have mechanical disc brakes on both wheels and after changing the wheels the front wheel continues to brake strongly and progressivly. However the rear disc has gone from a progressive braking to locking the tyre, even a small amount of pressure now locks the rear wheel. I have adjusted the pad spacing and the cable length but there is not a lot of change. How would i fix this, or is this down to a lower grip on the new tyres and cant be fixed?
To change how well the brakes grab change the pads, different compounds are available for most disk brakes and can change how hard or soft they engage. Check with your local bike shop to see what they carry, don’t be afraid to mix two compounds either to get the progressive braking your after.
