there is a lever reach screw in the lever! it wasnt in the instructions so i didnt look there, silly really. i found mine just before it fell out, advise use loctite threadlock!! i remember reading the reviews saying how the lever reach and pad adjustment wasnt separate. it isnt. my lever came with the adjuster out and the lever close to the bar. TNow, you already know the brake has masses of modulation? well, the closer to the bar the lever is, the less max power you have available.

i suggest everyone plays with the lever adjustment, by putting the lever out more, you will find your max power increasing. Since this information wasnt in the instructions, when my system gets dirty my power is greatly reduced. now with the lever out, meaning more modulation and more likely to hit the max power point, when my disc gets dirty there will no longer be the reduction of power to the point of being slightly dangerous in traffic.

if you already know all this, where did you find out? ive read and reread the instructions and cant find this important info anywhere.

What i have now is a lever that is out a bit further than im used to(the joys of hs33 setup) but i now am even more impressed with my brake. ENDO!!!!

cheers
i'll bear that in mind when i get some
hmmm, mbuk said that they had no lever reach
how wrong they were...

HS33s are right bitches
imne were good fer about a week

whereabouts is the screw?
near the lever piston?

I had a king pot noodle to day, but didn't put enough water in. It was like sawdust. Still ate it tho.

i like it when there is just the right amount of water in it, not too powdery, but not too watery
anyway,how many people here use deore discs?

with the lever attached to the bar, look inside from standing looking at the side of your bike. the casing ishousing is matt silver, the lever black. the fat adjustment screw with the tiny allen key hole is silver and you therefore cant miss it.

ive just got back from work having ridden my bike there nd back for the first time since putting my lever out and the raw power is brilliant, the lever ends nowhere near the bar when using max stopping power. the only downfall is reaching the lever. hs33 are great for setting the lever where you needit, but now i wish i hadnt wasted my money on them. deore discs £8 each end, now thats value for money.!.!.

bollocks, no one email me asking where i got them from at £8. i meant £80.

glad you found the adjustment screw, I've been using that since I got my brakes to set them up good..another trick with Deores is to use Xt hose, it seems to have less "flex" and gives a firmer feel...just watch the paintwork! 2002 XT hose has clear tube over stainless steel line so should be more paint friendly. Something else about deores, the pads don't last too long before losing "bite"..they are only £15.99 per pair so it's not all bad

when you spend your cash on something that must be installed and operated properly or it can cost you bags of money, you kind of rely on the instructions for what to do and what not to do.

so ,are the instructions for the discs like the instructions froma dodgy "made in china" bb gun?
