    Hey all, wondering if anyone can advise..
    Standard deore brakes just serviced are now far too on/off at low speed leading to accidentally braking far too hard.

    It there any way to get more modulation and/or lever travel?

    Cheers.

    Just remove a little fluid. It’s a personal preference thing. Many folk (me included) like to have little/zero lever travel and would argue that anything else is a poor bleed 😉  I used to over-fill my brakes.

    push the pads back so the pistons move into the caliper. this will increase the lever pull required to engage the rotor.

    Sounds like that could be an option.. Any guides or is it just take the wheel off and lever the pads with a broad screwdriver or knife or something.. Like can you push them too far and get into trouble?

    I use clean(ish) plastic tyre levers, save any damage to the brakes… especially if I have removed the pads and then push the pistons in.
