Gahh this is pissing me off..The fronts turned out good,doing 30mph I can stop in 10 feet,But the rear sheesh lever dont work at all and foot brake does hardly noting at 30 mph..I thought it was a working job because the brakes will work when I push the bike,but nothing at speed..new pads no leaks and I bleed that line for a half hour..what can be wrong here..Can it have to do with that stupid parking brake or something else??

 

Did you readjust the tension bolt on the side of the rear caliper? it not only sets up the grab force for the parking brake,it takes up the slack between the caliper piston and the pad, loosen the lock nut on the bolt, then turn the bolt in by hand until you feel it bottom out,then turn it back about 1/4 turn. This will make the parking brake tight when you put it on, and make it so the rear brake piston won't have to travel so far to grab,and will give you good lever and pedal feel. I can easily lock up my rear brake on my Wolverine when set up correctly. Let us all know how it works out for you, there's a lot of good advice here on the forums, I learn something almost every day !!

 

thanks I'll give that a try [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
