I have read, and tried, several strategies to make the rear brake more 'usable':

1/ Bleed it properly; either manually, or with a proprietary brake bleeder. You need to remove it from its mount to do so (it's upside down for the bleeder to work).

2/ Hang a weight (5-10kg) off the brake pedal overnight - sounds improbable, but it really works.

3/ Do both the above and fit some trick brake pads.

I actually got a little rear wheel slide out of mine yesterday, so they can be made to work.:thumbup
