Hey guys, im wonderin if theres any way to ajust the front brakes to be less "grabby" at slower speeds. my problem is that it seems like at slower/parkinglot speeds whenever i touch the front brakes, they grab. i find it dam near impossible to come to a smoothe stop using the fronts. i want toknow if i can adjust anything to make them less touchy at slower speeds. i know that these are hella powerful brakes and i love the feel when you apply them at anything over like 30 but it annoys me when its jerkey at low speeds. i dont think im just being hamfisted using the brakes cause ive mentaly tried to be gentle and still nothing. any thoughts would be helpful.

No adjustment for force -- just gotta exercise extreme lever control. Back brake will be smoother at slow speeds.
