Quick question about brakes
in Cycling ·
Kona Nunu 2011
Shimano BR 445
Here’s the deal: Every single time I pull the brake lever even slightly, I nearly faceplant over my handlebars—I've got an 180mm rotor up front and a 160mm one in the back. Is there any way to actually "loosen up" these brakes? I need some actual control so I can modulate the power instead of just slamming into the dirt. Downhill riding is a total nightmare with these things 😢 honestly, I'm terrified I'm gonna end up with zero teeth left 😬 !!

Am I even allowed to hang out here with you guys? Not sure if there's a minor policy or something? :P
As far as trails go, I can handle just about anything—the only thing I can't stand is a massive descent. 😬

I'm currently crushing these three routes—they're honestly awesome 😉

Purple route:

Green route:

Blue route

It’s not a huge list, but it works for me—plus, I've got two more routes in the works that I'll drop later. Have a good night, everyone! 🙂
