That's the thing, I don't drag at all and really don't brake very hard in the first place - there's just no need to in London. That's why I'm surprised that the Hope sintered pads have glazed over. Bizarre.
If anything this is an excuse to give the brakes some tlc, so I'm going to order some 180mm centreline rotors and then give the pads another sand down and go from there.

Not dragging the brakes are you? Or leaving them "on" after stopping so they can't cool properly? I think it's kinda hard to get them hot enough around town to trash pads like that but I managed it on a cargo bike with the extra weight and difficulty to stop it rolling if stopped on a hill.
