Issues with xt Dual Control discs
Im running last years dual control disc brakes and they are feeling pretty mushy. Wondering whether anyone else has had similar issues and a fix.
thx

Check your disc pads for wear? I am on my second pair of XTR metal pads since replacing them end of last year. They recommend down to 0.5mm but if they are close I change them and be prepared for quick stopping if that is the issue.

The thing is that the bike is new (less then a hundred miles) bought it on closeout from trek. I was thinking that the pads haven't worn in yet. Having to bleed the breaks is a little extreme for such a new bike.
