Bought some new Mavic Askiums the other day, put them on my Giant Defy and had to re-adjust my brakes as the new wheels are thinner, so I had to re-adjust the brake cable to make the brake block come closer together. My question is how close should they be? When I start pulling the brake lever, the brakes start applying but doesn't really stop the bike, it's only when I start pulling some morewhen it starts to stop. The brakes are really effective if I really pull them in. Should I bring the brake blocks closer or is it ok? If they are too close and too strong, will that be too dangerous when going down hill, resulting in flipping over the bars?
