To maximise braking efficiency, we recommend you bed in the brakes before or during your first ride. Find yourself a long, gradual descent that lets you reach approximately 20 mph. Drag the brakes for five or six seconds to build heat, then increase lever pressure until you come to a complete stop. Repeat several times until you feel the ‘bite’ has improved.
