Is It You, or Is It Your Brakes? SRAM Dives Into Proper Brake Setup 4

Just like how the huge number of variables in the hydraulic brake system itself contributes
to the overall mystery of mountain bike disc brakes, there are a lot of variables in brake tuning and setup, too. From brake pad choice and the essential bed-in procedure to the importance of lever setup, a few simple changes can help you get more out of your brakes. Perfect your ride.

So basically SRAM is telling us that their brakes are good and the problem is that we are too dumb to use them properly ... Thing is people who ride Magura, Shimano or TRP are no less dumb and yet don't complain about brake performance, when you call everyone a dickhead maybe you are the dickhead. Either way, good PR effort from SRAM's communication team.

This was a great video. I have loved my Magura brakes but just switched to their higher end metallic pad and haven't had the power I need. I don't think I bedded them in fully, just did a few stoppies and went riding. My rotors look a bit glazed after a couple rides, time now to find out how to fix it...

Downtime podcast did an episode with some of the Magura guys. They explain how important the bedding process is for their brakes, as is with all brakes, but especially so with their pad formula.
