Disk brakes too strong? Tern Verge P10
Last year I bought Tern Verge p10.
Unfortunately, soon I had the accident in which I broke my right hand. The reason was, in unexpected situation I hit the brakes, the bike stopped immediately and I did not. Classic.
Just before the accident, my speed was about 17 kph, which I know because of Strava. I do not think it is very high.
This is my first bike with disc brakes, with only one other experience, so I am inexperienced as to how they should behave.
Should not they be more loose? On my previous bikes an accident like this would be much more difficult because the brakes were not so tight. I sometimes feel uncomfortable when the bike is rolling slowly 1-2kph - it feels too easy to completely stop.
My boss has a normal size cross bike with disc brakes, which I use occassionally during lunch breaks. Those brakes are not so immediate, too - I feel much more comfortable with controlling the braking power.
It was set this way by the shop that sold the bike, so if they got it wrong, I do not feel I can trust them.
