Hello again (expect many more questions! hehe)

Okay so today i setup some basic home obstacles, 2 foot rocks etc, (first day ive ridden trials), im clearing them easyily..

Ive been trying to work on my hopping, watched a few videos etc, Im just wondering, when you apply the rear brake do you put your whole weight on the rear brake?

Because when im trying to do hops, i hold both breaks and when i pull back the wheel turns... so either my break pads are worn or im not holding break enough.

To get the wheel to completely lock up i have to apply so much pressure that the break is maxed out, is this a sign of pad wear? or maybe cable needs adjusting?

Thanks

I would have to say yes to brake pad wear if it almost max stroke of the pedal.

Give them a bleed too

id try bleeding it first. the brake pedal shoudlnt go to the bottom even if the pads are worn
