Brakes 'slipping' - any ideas?

[nicknameless]

So decided to try to strip and clean front brakes today (my first attempt at this).

All went ok, or so I thought. Re- assembled and went for a test drive. On hard breaking the brakes are what I can only describe as slipping. Plenty of bite and then as if the pads lose adhesion, slip a bit, and then grip again.

Only used brake cleaner. No copper slip accidentally on any braking surfaces.

What have I done?

sounds like you have triggered the abs system

Doesn't feel like abs at all.

Does sound like abs, maybe after the strip an clean they are more effective thank before?

Mmm - wasn't stomping on them and no pulsing from the peddle. Maybe?

Calliper bolts tight? If it were me I'd just whack the wheels off, check for any errant copper slip and also give everything a quick nip up to make sure they're tight. Are your pads in and seated correctly?
