If the wheel and pads are clean/new and still sounding gritty, I wonder how new the ‘new’ pads actually are.
I once bought a couple nos pairs of cantis and had to change the pads immediately as they had gone hard.

What levers and callipers are you using? Certain combinations of drop bar levers and brake callipers have dangerously low braking force.
(Did the bike work better in the past?)

Rim brake question
I'm using short drop calipers. They are not bringing the wheel to a sharp stop. Instead its feels like the rim is sliding through the brakes and they sound slightly gritty. In the workstand they work fine. I have cleaned the rims carefully and changed the brake blocks. Any ideas?
