Mate, I lost my temper and gave up with it - took it to the guys at SBC.
Disc brakes are new to me, I like my rim brakes very hard and responsive - as close the the rim as possible, no pull in the levers.
I couldn't get the discs anywhere near without the levers touching the bars, was really fucking pissing me off. SBC dialled the reach on my levers and they're still only just off the bars at full pull.
A bit disappointed by the frame, and disc brakes by that standard, I was hoping for super responsive super firm feel and very sure footed braking like I get from my Da9000 rim brakes.
Nope.
Nowhere close.
Any hints/tips?
