I recently fitted some Heatsink CNC backed pads and they have been great, they are couple to a ground rim and have been awesome. I Pinched flatted my rear yesterday so had to take the wheel off to sort the flat but apon putting it back the brakes are naff! so i did the usual undo both sides, undo the tpa, line pads up (1 side at a time) make sure they are straight onto the rim then pull the lever slightly then nip them up. Spinning the wheel back wards i get the nice 'Chirp' sound but forwards and it just mush.... so i took the pads out again and then used brake cleaner on the rim, the back of the pads are slightly dirty but I just cant understand why they were purfect before removing the wheel. I even rode up and down the road to bed them back in but they are still mush, no chirp sound apon braking just a mushy sound.
Should I lightly sand my pads? any other ideas...
