I had Ashima semi-metalic AD0102-SM-S pads installed front and rear. Brake system is Shimano Deore BR-M6000. Pads are not near as grippy as the old. In fact they feel about like the old ones did when they were worn down to the nub. I need to squeeze the brake handles pretty hard to get the bike to stop quickly and firmly. Also, on the disc there was a slight brown sheen which I wiped off with a clean cloth.
Is this "normal" for semi-metalic pads?
