How to adjust bicycle hydraulic disc brakes?
When your bike hydraulic disc brakes slow down, the brake pads contact the rotor and create resistance. This resistance will slow down the bike and stop it when the brake is fully engaged. To make adjustments to the so-called engagement point, loosen the nuts that secure the brake pads onto the arms of the bike’s disc brake caliper. Next, spin the brake pads so they move in a circular motion. Then slowly pull the pads away from the brake disc. If you notice the brake pads
How to adjust bike hydraulic brakes?

You should be able to apply force to the brake lever with very little effort, and you should not have to move the bike forward or backward to keep the wheel from slipping under the force of the brakes.

This is done sitting on the bike holding onto the handlebars and turning the adjustment screw. The bike will have a line showing the position of the brake pads and the optimum position will vary depending on the bike’s brake pad wear.
