Checked brake pads and resurfaced them, removed rear wheel and chain, cleaned and oiled lightly, I’m not sure why my rear brakes aren’t working as well as they should. Rim brakes with a cable were simple. #mtb #bikemaintenance

@Ve3ldj Hydraulic? Lever spongy or have a really solid stop? If spongy, then a bleed would probably help.

@idropyou Solid stop, feels like the front, i think they worked better today but I still can’t lock up the back wheel. I do crash a lot 😂

@Ve3ldj Ha!

Hope you figure it out. If I were encountering the same situation, I'd just give up and throw new pads and a rotor on it...or at least new pads and hose the rotor with brake cleaner 😃
