I bought my new bike, it came with promax hornet hydro disk brakes,
there supposed to self adjust but i've used used the bike for only about 10 hours at most and the front brake is already pulling right down to the bar! would have thought it would adjust for the disc bedding in and i no i havent smoked the pads already!! :shock:
Any ideas on how i can adjust it to tighten up a bit?

Cheers

    You've either lost fluid, or there's air in the system. Either way a bleed is almost certainly required.
