Hello,
I used to be a member on the old board but never re-registered on this version, been lurking for last 10 months. 🙂
Anyway, I have a set of deore discs on my daily hack, my problem is that I can stop better when the discs and pads are wet than when it is dry, I have replaced the pads both ends, rear are blue ebc's, front original.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?
Discs and pads are free from oil etc, system bled have even roughed up the pads to no avail.
Cheers

Disc glaze? - use some fine wet'n'dry paper to lightly sand off the discs in a circular motion (i.e inline with the disc rotor) see if that improves it.
Have tou "beded" them in after roughing them up as they will be like new and therefore not brake very well - ave you blasted down a long descent and then checked?
Pads bedded in and have also tried roughing up the discs with wet and dry, this problem is starting to defeat me, when they are wet they can stop me on a sixpence, in the dry I have to pull and hope.
Don't roughen the discs up - they are supposed to be shiney - I just meant to take any surface glaze off if present - I would give them a chance to bed in myself after all you fettling 🙂 If not I'd try new discs 😯 if they are now matt and "not shiney"
Discs are still shiney, I used 800 w and d just to give them the once over, this may give me the excuse to buy new rotors though, Have saw tooths on my Marin which work well so may get another set.
Are they organic or scintered by interest?
Sintered on front, I think the ebc are sintered as well.
