I'm having no luck with my hope brakes. They're bled, no spongyness or dead spots as far as I can tell, but the Hope sintered pads (which I splashed out on thinking they'd be better) glaze over from a day of riding around town. I've got two mismatched rotors which haven't been changed but have been cleaned with brake cleaner etc.
Are there any tips to get the sintered pads working properly? I thought they were supposed to be some of the best ones.
I'm thinking of upgrading both rotors and pads, any suggestions for the best bang for buck etc.?
