Hey i just took off my front pads because i have no stopping power. I bled the brakes and thats not it and i figured i need pads. How do these look? Also after you change the pads do u have to reset the indicator by pulling the mounting piece apart or it automatically does it? It looks like theres pad left but it feels like metal. Thanks. Heres some pics.

what condition are your rotors in?

Those little ridges in the pads from running the mud at rausch could be making it brake a little less but prob not your problem 
How is the pressure on the brake pull? does it feel spongy or soft?
If the feel isnt bad then I would deff be looking at the rotors and see how they look and measure etc.
If the above all checks out then just buy some new pads and run these on your rear brake so you dont waste them.

The lever is spongy. I can pull it to the grip. I tried bleeding it before and i figured that was the best it was gunna get but i guess ill try again if these pads are ok. When you bleed it you just keep pumping the lever untill all the air come out correct? Thanks

I bled the brakes and its a 100 times better. I also picked up brake cleaner but it says do not get on the pads or any rubber. Isnt there rubber seals and other parts on the brakes though?

You shouldnt need brake cleaner, and superclean messes things up good enough
