If you have got brake fluid on the pads they are basicly naffed, i got dot 4 on my pads and had to buy new 1`s this is after changing the rotor and putting water on the disk.
i will take you advise on pal. just resently bought a levelboss frame and i have bought some echo forged cranks. better than the fsa`s . herd they flex a little but we`ll soon see
