When you brake, the pressure forces the fluid to move into the caliper, pressing the pads against the disc. There are two main types of disc brakes: mechanical, which works with cables (just like rim brakes), and hydraulic, which replaces the cables with hydraulic fluid in a fully sealed line. Pull or release the brake cable through the caliper. Loosen the bolt on the brake caliper to readjust. Tighten or loosen the barrel adjuster accordingly. How to adjust your brake cables Pull the brake lever to judge how tight or loose your brakes are. Hydraulic systems are more efficient than mechanical disc brakes so you need to apply less pressure at the lever for an equal level of braking power. This fixing system is similar to many brake pads on linear pull caliper rim brakes. Avid® disc caliper brakes use a ball-and-socket system for the caliper mounting bolts. Pad adjusting knob moves pad position relative to rotor.
Hydraulic brakes are higher end and they perform better than either rim brakes or mechanical discs in just about every respect, but they’re more expensive. The Avid® mechanical disc brake for MTB bikes uses a brake lever designed for linear pull brakes. Are hydraulic discs better than mechanical?
