hello
i have recently boiught a set of xt calipers on160 rotors with xtr levers front amd back.
iv set them up and are fully bled and road to work a new times to help bed them in.
i upgraded from hayes soles and was exspecting a massive increase in power.
does any one have any tips on getting them set up right .
when i pull the lever although the pads move instantly they dont move that quick meaning a larger pull on the leaver only translates into a short movement of the pads meaning i have to pull the leaver untill its touching my triggers befor i can get decent stoping power.
thanks for any help

adjust the lever reach... let them bed in."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
