Hi i've only had my bike since september and only been out on it a few times. I'm wondering if I need to sort out my rear brake as it seems very weak , are they known to be weak ? thanks.

Yes they are quite poor. You can't rely on it as much as some other bikes, but it's fine once you get this through your head...

About all you can do is make sure it's bled properly and fit good quality (honda) pads. Braided line is a waste IMO, all it does is make the brake more touchy.

Ah thanks Cammo. I just need to get used to it then.

Just carry an anchor much more effective
