Sorry if this is a stupid question. Just picked up a new bike with Ultegra discs and it’s my first disc brake bike. Also been sitting brand new and boxed in a garage since July.
On a quick test ride, it felt like the bite point of the brakes was really “far”, and I had to squeeze for a while before getting any stopping power, which then came quite quickly.
I’m used to rim brakes biting immediately… so is this normal, or do I need to do something?
