Stupid new pads

I'll get some PVC tubing and bleed them through and see what happens... fit hoses... then new pads..

not happy..

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.

as to the bleeding brakes, whilst it's not hard, I've seen many who have bled their brakes for hours and not got anywhere, if you've not done it yourself before I'd suggest you get someone who has to come show you.

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.
