It's the bleed isn't it? I should just do it, right?

But there's no way I could have intrduced air into the system by just changing the pads. It's definitely different than before though. I also haven't bedded them in yet.

Anything else it could be?

Thanks.
A proper bed in should take care of it. You are mating up two fresh surfaces, until they mate up perfectly, you will get a sensation of a soft peddle. It's from pad compression on a leading edge most likely.
