I had this overheating brakes. Do the bleed, you should change fluid at least every year, and you may have air, too.
Road hydros do indeed feel less powerful than 20 quid shimano MTB brakes, but the right pads and a good bleeding and bed-in make a lot of difference.

Nah
you may have air
More likely

Nah, maybe from the hoods but you've got more leverage from the drops if you bare in mind you've got to pull further, and if rotor size is the same.

Yeah, but fuck bleeding it all the time if it doesn't need it.

Road hydros are badly designed.
The number of busted diaphragm and sticky pistons outnumber MTB stuff by a good 50 to 1.
Stucked pads retainer pins? 100 to 1!

Cheers. I got them bled about a year ago by a shop, maybe I'll learn to do it myself if it's going to be a semi- regular issue..
