I will be introducing myself to the world of trail riding on a dual-suspension mongoose "status" 26" bike with front and rear disc brakes (not sure of the type of pads or the material, though). Yes, the bike is cheap and probably built with crappy materials (especially the rear, coil spring suspension), but it rides beautifully and its all that i have. So i was wondering, if i were to go on a long, steep downhill trail, can the disc brake take a constant, weak braking, or do i have to brake in short bursts. I am used to riding machines that have engine braking and i just dont trust mountain bike brakes; disc, or not.
Thanks in advance!
