Hmmm, I reset pistons before installing new rotors as they were wider, not before swapping pads. Good point.
I'm going to swap pads around again, so sintered at the front, and bleed both. If that fails I'll take it to a shop or send them to Hope.Good to know it's not a common problem! I thought I was just being thick. Probably am.

It's not power, they feel different because the pads that were worn less are now in the caliper that had self adjusted it's pistons to pads with more wear and are closer to the rotor so less lever throw, unless you reset the pistons between swaps. Take it to a shop because it sounds weird and they hopefully know what they're doing, if the lever feels normal but there's not enough power to stop you moving the wheel by hand it's not a common problem, especially if you've already swapped out pads and rotors.
