Right then guys I have now found out why my brakes aren't too great.

While bleeding them again but the old fashioned way I notice movement in the sliders. I've replaced the sliders before the pins are ok but it looks like the guides in the caliper carrier are worn and allowing the caliper to move in away they reduce the effectiveness of the brakes.

I've only rebuilt the calipers last year so I am going to try replacing the carriers and see how that goes. Does anyone know a good place to get them from? So far I have found this guy on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAKE-CALIPER-...20ea94c9ca
