Hello,
I just finished changing the brake pads on my 2012 Renegade 1000 XXC. I notice my rear brakes don't brake very well, i.e. won't lock up like the fronts. Basically the rear brake just gradually slows the bike down and doesn't bite like the front. The lever isn't squishy, there is resistance. When the bike is jacked up and the wheels are in motion, the brakes do stop the tires, they just don't seem to be very strong when under load. I can't recall if this is the same braking power as before I swapped the brake pads or not, since I just assumed the pads were low and needed replacing.. This may just be a coincidence.
Thanks,
