I think everyone should keep in mind that the rear brake only " Helps "
to stop the bike. The fronts do 60-90% of the stopping power.
When I had our store we sold lots of brake pads. New pads can get glazed
but most time they will make more noise when they do.
My rear feels good but I don't use it much. This is the first new or used bike that I have had in the last 15 years that I haven't replaced the pads
right away with my favorite brand. ( DP )
( It might also be because I don't have a display with 100's brakes pads
on it
)
