I appreciate the article on bedding brakes and don't argue that it's a good idea and improves performance. In our situation the front brake works great but, for some reason we've yet to identify, the rear doesn't grab nearly as well as the front. I replaced my rear sprocket, greased the axle and rear wheel bearings and reinstalled the wheel myself. All before 1st start. I figured I got grubby axle grease coated finger prints all over the rotor and overlooked cleaning it prior to 1st ride. pcreighton is experiencing the same issue. I'm not convinced it's a contamination issue as yet. I'll post here what I find out. I'm still optimistic the factory rear brake components can be made to grab/stop well with a good cleaning and working through a bedding process.
