Hydraulic Disc Pad Adjustment

Recommended Posts

So I'm just trying to make the brake lever pull more sensitive. I've tried adjusting the hex screw on the brake handle itself, and I've tried messing with the brake pad screw that holds them in place on the caliper. But it doesn't seem to make any difference. The brake lever comes almost all the way to the handle bar. Help please! Any ideas?

They're Avid Elixir 3s.

thanks

Hi buddy,

Did you try bleeding them? Are the pads completely worn down? If you can pull the lever all the way to the bars no matter how it is adjusted it sounds like you got air in the system. check youtube for bleed procedure if you don't know it allready..

Good luck
