I've literally just put on my new oros to replace the rx's with 160 rotors front and rear and I've heard they were more powerful than the rx's turns out they are so unresponsive they barely work! Has anyone had any experience with this? or is it just me being stupid and they need breaking in?

Have the pads been bedded in properly? If they haven't then no brake will be any good.

I'd heard the complete opposite!

Well yes, they'll need braking in like all brakes. They might also need bled.

Liked mine to start with but it doesn't "bite" nearly as well as it used to. New pads help a bit, but overall not very impressed. Doesn't feel spongey like it needs a bleed either, though that may help a bit. I did buy it 2nd hand but still, lever is quite squeaky now and also the pads wear quite quickly I guess due to their small size. Lever feel is great though, much nicer than the wooden feeling Juicy 5 I have on the front.
