Ridem,
I agree the rear brake leaves much to be desired, but some of us with 13's had air in the rear brake line that made them useless. I joked that the rear brake pedal was just an ankle exerciser
After bleeding the air out of mine, it works much better, but is not a great brake. All of us (about 4-5 here I think) complaining had NON-ABS bikes. Don't know if any ABS models had the air problem or not as none were reported on the board. I've been thinking of bleeding mine again just to be sure.
Maybe some of the 14's have the air problem too. Or maybe the rear is just a crappy brake.
