Cleaned the rotor, changed pads, bled the system, everything was fine. Rode home in the rain last week, put the bike away for a few days. Rode into work this morning, no braking power, horrible noise when braking.
BR-RS785 caliper with g03s resin pads (they haven't done 100km, rotor also has less then 500km ) I've done some testing while riding into work and after a while some braking power came back. When braking from 30km/h to 15 km/h, no noise. When braking from 15km/h to a stop --> noise.
Are the pads contaminated again? Do I need to wait a bit longer before they are "worked in"? Sand them down a bit? Bike is stored outside and it was cold this night, could this be of an influence?
last time it was possible they were contaminated but this time I've not touched them.
I've also cleaned the caliper last time as per Park Tool's instructions.
Bit hesitant to take it to a bike shop as they'll probably just replace everything again.
