What could have caused my rear brakes to fail?

My rear brakes stopped working on my bike...how could it have happened...how do i know what it is? what can i do to fix it??What could have caused my rear brakes to fail?If it is a bicycle, there are two types of brakes that are most common, bendix style which is built into the hub on single speed bikes and caliper style that work against the wheel on multi speed bikes.

rust is the most common culpirt on both

either inside the hub assembly or usually in the control cable on the caliper types

without more information that is about all anyone can tell youWhat could have caused my rear brakes to fail?You did not state whether it is a pedal or motor cycle you are referring to.What could have caused my rear brakes to fail?Worn out? Replace.What could have caused my rear brakes to fail?As you don't know what happened, or how it could have happened I'd hazard a guess that you won't be able to fix it yourself.



Time to visit a dealer and wave your wallet at them.
