New Front Brake Pads

Anybody have reduced braking power after installing new brake pads? Cleaned the rotor and double checked everything. They aren't god awful, but definitely less grabby than before. I understand the new pads have a bedding in period but I don't remember them being this weak on the bike when it was new.

I rode a more or less brand new Vertigo last weekend and was surprised how weak the brakes were... I'm sure they just weren't bedded in yet, so yes, I'd say they can feel 'that bad'. You can wait it out or heat cycle them as suggested.

Great advice from you guys on the brake pads. I took the Jitsie's out and put the Galfers in. Wow, what a difference. I like Jitsie products and will continue to buy them, but the Galfers are way better in my opinion. Way grabbier, no bed in time needed, perfect.
