That's the first step when hydraulic brakes won't engage. Is there any chance you got grease/oil on the pads? And...I've actually seen this done, so don't think I'm being an a-hole, but...are you sure you have the pads the right way? I've seen someone put the metal side towards the rotor, and yeah, it had little braking power. Aside from that, most brakes have an "inside" and "outside" pad. I haven't done the rear on this bike yet, so don't know if it does, but very likely. Check that they are in the right place.
