I'm having real trouble getting my front brake (metallic pad) to bed in, just seems to glaze.
203 rotor with XT brakes, tried sanding the rotor, boiling them all in detergent, brake cleaner, 3 different sets of pads (from well used to brand new) - all seem to appear to bed in fine at the start (sprint, grab handful of brake, repeat a few times), but by the end of a ride its howling and horrible. pretty sure its not contamination, I've checked all hoses and caliper, and cleaned up with brake cleaner..
Starting to think Im just too heavy and should try a 4 pot caliper, or new bike time? or could it be a bad bleed and theres not enough force to bite properly when I'm bedding in?
any thoughts?
