I like to keep mine pretty tight so I have a good positive feel on the brake lever...my pad probably only travels about 2mm and the stationary pad is 1mm or less from the rotor...
they stop me in a hurry...
I just had them adjusted at the shop. When I figured they didn't stop I looked at them myself and they are properly adjusted. I dont belive its the pads because the bike is not even 6 months old.
Do you have any other tips I can try?
