Drop me a line and I’ll send you a new set of pads with my compliments.Cleaned them with washing up liquid as recommended and lightly rubbed them with some sandpaper. There was a very slight improvement, which has now disappeared, they do stop you , but the rear brake is 100 times better, bikes only done about 278 miles, its a Wisper 705 T I bought it along with one for partner a year ago, not really been used tat much was put away for winter months, we then moved house and the last 8 months we have been working flat out on major work on house. I wont bother bleeding the brakes as this does not seem to be required from what I am now told, if I can find a stockist for brake pads ill but a set of new ones and try that. Bike stops reasonably quickly but I'm sure its not as good as it used to be, her bike ( same as mine ) is better. Thanks for all the advice.
All the best, David
