I kinda have the same problem, when i converted my drum brakes to disc... i cant hold the handbrake on an steep incline

did you bleed all four brakes?

You'll find that handbrake is much more effective with the drum brakes , its due to the surface area of the drum shoes when compared to the small disc pads, allowing more grab. Time to get a hydro or try some soft pad compounds for better bite.

i thought you would be happy considering the handbrake is grabing as it used to......
