To get the most out of your disc brakes, it’s important to bed them in properly. Find a long, gradual hill where you can reach around 20mph. Gently drag the brakes for 5-6 seconds to generate heat, then apply more pressure until you come to a complete stop. Repeat this a few times until the braking ‘bite’ feels more consistent. This process helps improve braking performance and ensures everything’s working as it should.
