UPDATE: Yesterday, I rebuilt the caliper, master cylinder, and installed a brand new braided brake line. It helped a little, I think....but the brake still sucks. I can only hear the bike reviewers online if this brake was on a China bike.
I just now ordered a new rotor with pads. I already have new pads on it but I want to try newly mated surfaces, just to keep an even playing field. This will mean every part will have either been rebuilt or replaced. If the brake still sucks....then it really is just a lousy brake.
I'm hoping the rotor is glazed or blued and just not dispersing the heat properly.
