Any suggestions on how i can make my Elixir 5 brakes a bit less sharp?
N.B. I've ridden a lot of bikes with different hydraulic disc brake setup-s so am well used to what disc brakes should feel like before someone suggests that I may not be used to them
On my "new to me" Trek Remedy 7 the Elixir 5 brakes are ridiculously sharp I barely have to touch the levers and the brakes lock up, it makes gentle modulation or subtle braking really tricky it makes going between this bike and my others (which have Hayes and Juicy 5's) a really awkward transition ...any advice appreciated..
