But from what you describe, it might be worth doing two things first: 1. Adjust the rear brakes...and then, if that doesn't help, 2. Bleed the entire system. A half-hour's time and a bit of brake fluid might save you a whole bunch of money. And unless you know the brake fluid's been flushed recently, this is probably a good idea regardless. --Andy Mace
