I tried but I think the pad wear was uneven and I couldn't be bothered faffing, needing to ride home so put them in properly.
Yesterday's ride was hours of listening to stuff get caught in the caliper and make horrid grinding noises. Is that normal? I mean, I understand horrid noises when actually braking but just riding along, hit puddle, now caliper sounds like a traction engine that someone has dropped a bag of bolts into the middle of.

Dude, your set up sound just wrong from the beginning!

One of those legs of the spring touching the caliper?
Usually the case if your pads are pretty worn down.

I have had similar 'noise' after riding through puddles, for me it was that one side of the caliper was very close to rotor. Although I had pads aligned so they weren't catching, crud that was getting onto on the caliper from puddles/being thrown off the pads/rotor, on the side the rotor was entering was catching/making the noise, rather than anything on the pads. Shifting the caliper over a bit helped. Hope this makes sense.
