I've never had a bike with a disc brake before, so I know nothing about them or what to expect from them.
I do know that the mechanical (non-hydraulic) disc brake on the front wheel of my new Woosh Big Bear is far, far less efficient than the regular V brake type on the rear wheel. Indeed, when it comes to stopping the bike, the disc brake will only slow it somewhat, whereas the rear V brake does all the stopping.
From a stationary position, it will not lock the front wheel and I can easily push the bike forward.
I have tightened the cable, but am at a loss as to how to further adjust it.
Is this a common sort of thing with disc brakes?
