Default Re: New to cycling

Did the shop explain you need to bed the disc brakes in properly? They often fail to do this, and if you don’t do it, you will end up with bad braking and squealing brakes which is annoying as hell. The process is similar to a car you need to find a slight hook and go through a process of moderate braking one brake at a time, do each brake about ten times. Them repeat the process again from a faster speed on a slightly steeper hill (ideal) with firmer braking. Never come to a complete stop and do each brake separately. Road disc brake are usually garbage until they are bedded in.
