2001 rear brakes stop working after 10 min of riding

[ben jones]

I just bought a 2001 banshee and the rear brakes stop working after 10 min of riding I felt the rear caliper and its torching hot, but it dosnt feel like it stuck because I can roll it with no drag,what could be my problem? After it sits for 10-15 min the rear brakes start working again, ive checked the fluid its full,when they stop working the brake peddle will bottom out with absolutly no rear brakes

Are there any pads left at all? Sounds like the caliper isn't "floating", I'd pull it apart and grease it with some disc brake grease, specifically the two long pins that go through the pads and also the whateverthefuckitscalled chingus that the caliper floats to the backing plate (like a pin through a rubber insulator, haven't done a rear lately but on the fronts there's an allen bolt head underneath a black rubber cap plug). Also make sure it's not the pedal that's sticking; disconnect the master cylinder and make sure it moves freely, wouldn't hurt to grease it and use a washer between it and the frame if there isn't one...

I have plenty of pad left, ill try what you told me also the brake pedal isnt sticking it returns to it place like its suppose to.

Flush it and put new fluid in too.
