no rear brake whatsoever


betcha have no pads and air in the system. even with tothemetal pads you can still grind stuff. you ain't grinding? air

look at the rear pads. replace if needed. break free the bleeding nipple then put it finger tight. wrap some teflon tape around the threads at the caliper. let the caliper hang with a thin board (paint paddle) between the old pads. clear tubing on the nipple submerged in a glass of dot4 fluid. loosen rear master resevoir lid. lossen nipple (you did top off the rear resevoir as you said in post?) push down the brake peddle and cycle until you have clear fluid out the tubing side, while keeping the reservoir in a safe zone. do not top it off. use the lower line. (your new pads have more meat) tighten nipple. remove old pads, insert new pads,rehang, press pedal till pads contact rotor watch your fluid level. top off. done. flushed line new pads.
