Re: (drksolest)
I was actually looking at the Yukon along with the Cannondale F7 hat I purchased, both competing in the middle tier entry-level bike category.
I rode both, and the C-dale of the same frame size just felt better to me, I could also get the F7 with disc brakes for the same price as a non-disc Yukon. (picked it up for $380 out the door).
I've been riding some singletrack and as a beginner, I have no complaints about the F7 except for the low pedal clearance when crossing roots/rocks, but half of it is me needing to work on my timing/rhythm.

Wow... I forgot to post in this thread again. I got it a while back. Great bike. Im loving the disc brakes. I just wish i could tighten them just a little bit more. I want more control... like if i just pressed down on the rear brake all the way it would lock up. I dont like locking up the rear but its useful in some situations like a little while back i was coming up to a curb and it was slick cement so I locked the rear and leaned to the left. I stopped parallel to the curb. This only works on slick surfaces and not on pavement. They are as tight as they can go without the brakes rubbing. How can I tighten them more so I have a more full range of contol.
Re: (Otto MCR)
You can either make the cable tighter but messing with the adjustment knobs on the lever or or pulling out a little bit more cable on the actual caliper and then tightening down the screw again.
Pads can also help modulation, but it'll become more of an on/off switch.

Re: (PHeller)
Thanks! Ill try the whole cable on the caliper thing.
