Check your pedal to master cylinder rod spacing. Perhaps it's too large?

Also, go around check the minor adjustment (star wheel) on the brakes again. Sometime after you actually used them, they have bedded/seated a bit better and then need a tad more tightened. I gave up adjusting with the feeler guage, and had more luck turning the adjuster until locked and can bearly turn the tire in the direction of travel with two hands. Then backing off the adjuster until it has just a wisp of drag.
