The main reason the control and braking power is so enhanced in bikes with disc brakes is the positioning. Disc brakes sit at the centre of the wheels and bring the bike to a stop by squeezing a brake pad against a rotor mounted around the hub. This increased power means stopping becomes easier even in the most challenging conditions.

How to tighten disc brake cables

Many disc brakes will come with a cable;over time, you need to tighten it so the brake feels more secure. To do this, find the bolt holding the disc brake cable and turn it anti-clockwise using a screwdriver or Allen key. Once slightly loose, pull the cable outwards and tighten it to your satisfaction.
