Braking Feel?

Okay, this sounds good and how it feels when I'm practising. And the couple of times I've actually had to use it.
I just thought if the bike is juddering and skipping maybe the braking isn't the most effective, but this is good.




And everyone else has convinced me I need to sort it out and clean my brakes properly! It will have to wait a week, off to Manchester in an hour.

Thank you

Wish my curvy had this caliper. It was a bit of a bugger of a job as one piston was slightly seized but I got there in the end. And I have learnt another difference between curvy and pointy.
