Front brake too sensitive

[Yorick]

Hi, I'd like some pads with more initial bite. What do you recommend ?

After 30 years race and track riding, it's taking a while to get used to hard front braking on the rough stuff.

I want instant bite, then progressive improvement as more pressure applied. I don't like to have to really squeeze hard. I want to just use one finger

Have you found brakes better than Beta?? I don’t know.. nissin is great. Maybe just try different brands of pads to try?
I think you’re probably just going to get used to riding on the rough stuff and adjusting riding style. It’s not that much of a change is it? Maybe change lever like the Midwest lever to try?

Any idea of pads to try ?

And what are the Midwest levers ?

Just google beta rr brake pads and see the choices.

I don't want to sound like a jerk. But man... I didn't think too sensitive could even be a thing for brakes. More sensitive means less finger effort. Less effort, means less work or less arm pump. I love the brakes on the Beta and would use pads with 'more' bite if I could.

You don't sound like a jerk. What i should have said is that i do not like the lack of feel /modulation. I do not mind one finger braking.
I will try the EBC pads.

I'm the same as many I love the one finger front but find the rear lacks feel. I use Moto Master sintered rear pads as they have much more feel, maybe try these in the front if people are finding the front brake to much.
