I run 3 sets of the same brakes and swap the wheels around the bikes depending on where I'm riding. The pads are a mix of uber race matrix and sram sintered.
Ideally rotors would be used with the pads they were bedded in with but when I swap wheels and rotors around I rarely notice any difference in braking due to the rotors and pads being mixed up.
Worst case scenario they don't bite quite as much then back to full power after one run on the uplift.I can't believe you actually put the rotors through the dishwasher, I thought you were joking.
Did they come out squeaky clean?Pad wise, I find once pads are contaminated that's them completely fucked and no amount of black magic gets them back to normal. Less hassle to buy a new set than mess about with a blow torch or putting them in the oven etc
I still reckon you should ditch the mt7's and get codes. Dibs mt7's if/when you do.

They did seem to, but I've not ridden either of the bikes since so I don't know if it's cured the issue.
Basically the braking went to shit whenever I hosed the bike down, and it's never returned to what it was like before winter on either bike. I imagine I was washing off the layer of pad material that had gone onto the rotor, and maybe spreading wet-lube from the chain onto the pads from the hose. IDK, but it's annoying and I'm determined to fix it.

Dammit
As clean as my dishwasher can make them. I'm tempted to take the sintered pads out of the MT7's and put the Uber Bike "Race Matrix" pads in, as the full metal pads are (I suspect) unlikely to get hot enough on the stuff I ride at the moment, in the current weather.
I was thinking to put them back in if/when I get to go to the Alps later this year.
