rear brake failed

Soon as i've sorted my gearbox problem something else comes along, just got it all working fine, took it out for my first ride on it in months and the rear brake just doesn't work.

No resistance in the brake pedal, nothing. The brake fluid is topped up and it doesnt appear to be leaking? :smt013

i was expecting something more serious seeing there is no brake force what so ever. I'll have to bleed the bleeding things then...

Re: rear brake failed

If everything else looks normal then that's all it's likely to be. Alternatively did you push the piston back in a long way for any reason? Like to change pads?

Hopefully in the same garage, so you can go in and poke him with a soldering iron when you're bored...
