The bike sat for 4 years.
Gravel bike has mechanical discs with 160mm rotors which are just OK but no real need for instant braking where I ride with that anyway. Might try a 180mm rotor in front and see if that improves things. |
They feel great. Modulation for days! No need to bleed. (but I've got the tools if I need to let it bleed.)
I had mechanical discs on my last Gravel bike. Never again - the difference is night and day, like the difference between single pivot calipers and V brakes was.
