Okay, well, maybe not divine. BUT, if you know me, you'll know that I'll do almost anything to avoid a brake bleeding session. I got this bike that had obvious been sitting for a while. No, and I mean zero, rear brake pressure. In fact I was wondering if my foot was even on the level it was so soft. Well, after some reading, I found a solution that was a direct match for my level of ambition and desire to remove the Tupperware - hang a weight on the pedal to depress it and let it sit for 24 hours. This is my kind of repair. And lo, the angles or elves or homunculi did come forth and fix the rear brake while I slept! Does it still suck? Yes. Do I probably still need to change the fluid? Absolutely. But for now, it functions! Anyway, I thought it might be good to post for the lazy or spastic, like myself. If you have a dead rear brake, try this out. It might just work.
