theres a lot of distance from when i push the pedal to when the brakes bite, is this usual. i know they have to bed in just seems a little strange.
When i came down a biiig hill yesterday i was braking on the way down and when i got to the bottom the seemed to be a lot better with the bite closer to the pedal.

Can anyone help or suggest.
Thanks

its usually better once they've been bedded in, but it sounds like they haven't been bled properly to me.
