W@nna-BE Posted July 12, 2013 Share Hi Hubbers, please excuse my ignorance on this question but if i dont know i ask i have noticed over the past few weeks that the "pressure" on my rear MTB disk brakes ( hydraulic) is alot less then my front. in other words the lever is softer for the back brakes. I actually have to pump the rear brakes to build some pressure, brake pads are not new but there is still some meat on them any recommendations to get the lever a little "stiffer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 12, 2013 Share The brakes need to be bled properly. Either water or air in the system. Pants Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 12, 2013 Share By bled properly I mean the system must be flushed of the old fluid and fully replaced with new. Any proper lbs should be able to do this for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
