Default It feels like Im having a problem during heavy braking.....

Maybe its just me but anyway, Yesterday I noticed my brakes feel different. The bite doesnt feel as strong as it used to just last week. I have Zeal S6 and they have no brake line brackets, so I ziptied them. Could the reason for my brakes feeling different be from the lines not being secured well enough? I didnt want to tighten the zipties too much in fear of damaging the lines. If the problem has anything to do with the brakelines, would a set of SS lines make any difference? I figure the brakelines are flexing quite a bit during hard braking. The brakes feel weaker during heavy braking. Any help would be appreciated.

Pads might be glazed.

take the pads out and use 80 grit sandpaper on them to roughen them up and re-install.

otherwise get new rotors/pads.
