Squishy rear brake

[sho061]

I changed the pads on my rear break and put new fluid in. It's all put back together and I took it out riding and when I use the rear brake I have to push on it almost all the way down for it to do anything.

I'm not leaking any fluid anywhere. It wasn't like this before I changed the pads.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like you did not bleed the air out.

Hmm got air in the line huh. Ok. I'll try and bleed again to get it out thanks.

too it will take a bit for the pads to conform to the disc. but shouldn't be "squishy"

get the air out

Yep. Just blead the brakes again. It was air. Back to normal now
