Something is up if you can't lock the wheels up. I'm running slick 28s and if I jab the brakes too hard I'm definitely skidding down the road. Your pads and/or rotors are worn, contaminated or maybe shit.
Could also be that the bleed is shit so the brake levers are at the bars before full force is applied?
