Switch to Pagid pads, the axxis are pretty bad in the rain, worse when not bedded.

Default I think it's been discussed before
With the Axxis pads I noticed a great reduction in stopping power for a given about of pedal travel, to the point where I was nervous about ever needing a panic stop in the wet. Several others have experienced the same thing.

I now run Pagid Orange on the street (and track) and it seems to have cured the wet stopping problem. Although they are a ace pad, it has plenty of bite when cold.

Yeap! Switched to Pagid and had zero issues after that.
