ah i might have got some grease on it, is there any specific way to clean it?0

get some muc off disc brake cleaner (i tend to use it after every ride anyway) and some new pads if you have got some oil/grease on there, which it sounds to me like you may have, and give the rotor a proper good clean with it.0
-
the pads are brand new, can i just spray some of it on the pads?0

Some brake cleaner and a light rub with coarse 240grit or less wet and dry then bed them in hard (five or so high speed stops). It always seems to happen to me with new pads and wet conditions before they ar properly bedded in.-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:0 -
with the muc off brake cleaner do you have to wipe it off after a while or not?0

It is alcohol based so should evaporate but you do have to wipe down the bits you spray to bring of the contaminants, it should come with instructions or have some on their website.-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
