Sounds like your brakes had no modulation or you weren't using them safely. Modern disc brakes eliminate the modulation issue.
Bike brakes aren't a binary system. You can adjust your touch on the brake levers to apply varying levels of friction against the braking surface to shave off speed.
- sleavey 10y agoMaybe I just don't know what modulation means, but I figure it's when you pump the brakes to prevent skidding. How do disk brakes eliminate the need for it?
