I'd change the pads ASAP. I had a set of Goldfren pads and they wrecked my 4-month-old discs in about 2 weeks.

Whilst I have never used this make so cannot comment my general experience of HH type pads are that they like it a tad warmer than OEM pads.

Initially they feel vague, but squeeze harder and they have far better stopping power than OEM.

As for travel, give your callipers a full overhaul.

I've had problems bleeding my SV brakes; my dad uses a pump to suck fluid through instead of just pumping the lever. This works best.

Thought I'd update... over the last couple of weeks since fitting they've sorted themselves out.. and I can now 1 finger brake with ease. Epic win.
