Hi

Am new to using hydraulic discs and recently replaced the worn pads but now find I have to pull the handlebar lever much further back to brake. Could anyone give advice as what I need to do first to get them quickly responsive again?

    It will take a little time for the Pistons to resettle with the pads in the correct place, also the pads need to bed in (which you can do with about 20 moderately hard stops in succession.
