Jan 17, 2004 7:29 PM | | Just got my Avid Disc on and have a question concerning "break in time". After the pads "bed in" can I start adjusting them to grab stronger or can I start to adjust them right away? Thanks in advance. |

Depending on your typical rides, it does take some time and a few long fast descents to get the pads bedded in. Pretty damn grabby once it is. Excellent brakes.
I'd also make sure your brake lines are routed as directly as possible and cables lubed. The spring force on the Avid calipers are low so they can be subject to feeling kind of sluggish if your cables are creating friction. |
